My Mind Is Living On Cloud 9

It's A Long Time Coming As Far As The Work That I Put In. Now I Know That I Got The Stamp But What Counts Is What Comes Behind. That's What's Really Important. Upholding That Stamp And Not Only Keeping The Energy My Way But Also Spreading That Energy Out To Other Artists That Are Coming Up On The West Coast.

My Whole Thing Is To Inspire, To Better People, To Better Myself Forever In This Thing That We Call Rap, This Thing That We Call Hip Hop.

I Started Doing Music When I Was Thirteen; I Actually Started Writing My First Rhymes.

Got In The Studio At Sixteen, [and] That's When I Felt Like I Wanted To Make This A Career. I Had A Passion For It.

I've Got An Extra-specific Story About Dr. Dre. I Saw Him When I Was 9 Years Old In Compton - Him And Tupac. They Were Shooting The Second 'california Love' Video. My Pops Had Seen Him And Ran Back To The House And Got Me, Put Me On His Neck, And We Stood There Watching Dre And Pac In A Bentley.
