I've Never Really [written] Something That Was

My Grandfather Was A Voodoo Priest. A Lot Of My Life Dealt With Spirituality. I Can Close My Eyes And Remember Where I Come From.

I'm From The Church, My Dad Was A Pastor's Kid.

I Don't See No More Billie Holidays, No More Marvin Gayes, No More Smokey Robinsons. I Don't Even See No More Nirvanas.

No Matter How Far You Go, If You Can't Go Back To The Essence, You're Not Sayin' Nothin'. The Essence For Me Is Hip-hop. But The Hip-hop Community I Came Up In Isn't A Loyal Community.

I Decided To Do What I Do When I Was 2 Years Old. At 2 Years Old, You Know, I Heard The Sound Of A Drum Playing In The Village, And I Found My Own Drum And Just Picked It Up And Started Playing, The Worst Song Ever Written By Wyclef Jean.but It Actually Started A Vibe.
