I Grew Up In New York City In The '80s, And It Was The Epicenter Of Hip-hop. There Was No Internet. Cable Television Wasn't As Broad. I Would Listen To The Radio, Hear Cars Pass By Playing A Song, Or Tape Songs Off Of The Radio. At That Time, There Was Such An Excitement Around Hip-hop Music.

In Any Relationship That Comes To An End, There's Never Just A Baseline Reason Why. You Say, 'oh, I Broke Up With My Girlfriend.' Someone Says, 'why?' You Say, 'well, You Got Three Hours? And Then Maybe After I Tell You My Version, You've Got To Talk To Her.
