To The Extreme I Rock A Mike

For Three Years Between 16 And 19 I Was The Opening-act-for-the-opening-act-for-the-opening-act, You Know? And Then I Was On Tour With Ice-t, Stetsasonic, Epmd, Sir Mix-a-lot--legends--and Went On To Sell 160 Million Records. It Still Baffles Me.

I Didn't Want The Public In My Personal Life At All - I Thought That People Might Perceive Me As Too Normal, And I'd Lose That Larger-than-life Rock Star Persona. You've Got To Protect That!

I've Been Playing Concerts For Many Years, And It's Still As Exciting As It Was The First Time. I Hope That Shows When I'm Performing.

I Just Kept It Real And Had The Freedom To Do What I Want. It's Not Designed For Any Age Group. It's Not Made For Radio. There Are No Edits. The Whole Album Contains Explicit Lyrics But That's Because You Need It.

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.
