I Was Born In Dallas, Texas, But

To Be Truthful, Jay-z Wouldn't Have A Quarter Of The Records Sold Today If It Wasn't For The White People Buying His Records.

I Just Kind Of Shoot The Finger To The Critics. I Don't Give Sh - What A Critic Says. To Me A Critic Is Some Loser Who Has No Idea... Someone With An Opinion. We All Have Opinions.

This Was Totally Influenced By Me And The Direction That I Am Writing About And The Stuff That I Am Writing About. There Is Just No Way That You Can Be As Intense As What I Have Been Through In My Life Over A Drum Beat Machine, Sample, Or Loop; It's Just Not Going To Happen.

I Use The Music To Vent, And A Lot Of The Stuff That I Am Writing About Or Was Writing About Contained A Lot Of Anger And Anxiety, Stress And Depression, So That's How The Album Came Out So Dark.

I'm To Trying To Say I'm Something I'm Not. Black People Understand That. I'm Just Doing My Raps, My Way. Rap Is Black. I Recognize That And Respect That. I'm Just A White Guy Trying To Rap, And I Got Lucky.
