If I'm Gonna Tell A Real Story,

Music Was Just Played All Around Me, And I Couldn't Run From It. My Pops, He Never Learned To Sing, But He'd Have His Little Drink On The Side, And He'd Put On The Best Of His Hits - Gangster Rap Or Oldies - And He'd Sing All Day On His Mic Plugged Up To The Wall Set-up. It's A Trip. I've Just Seen That My Whole Life, So I've Always Just Had A Love For Music. By The Time I Was 13, I Really Just Jumped In It. And It's Something I Took On To Have As A Hobby.

When I Go Into The Studio - It [words] Has To Sound The Way I Heard It In My Head. So That's Probably One Of The Biggest Things That Separates Me When I'm Working In The Studio - Just How I Hear Certain Things.

The Moment I Made That Decision To Get In The Studio And Actually Work And Study The Culture Of Hip-hop, Then Everything Just Started To Open Up And Blossom For Me.

When I Look At Comedy, It's All Self-expression. I Apply That Same Method To My Music. I Came Up Listening To N.w.a And Snoop. Like Them, It's In Me To Express How I Feel. You Might Like It Or You Might Not, But I Take That Stand.

At First, I Was Scared To Show Fear Because You Can Never Be Sure How People Will Perceive You. But I Dared Myself To Do That, To Stand Out. Now I'll Talk About Being Beaten Up Or Robbed Or Making A Stupid Decision Because Of A Girl Or Whatever.
