I'm Trying To Set Up Opportunities For

I Wanted To Make Something That Reminded People Of The Way Albums Used To Feel. I Wanted Something As Good As The Stuff Put Out By The Bomb Squad, Or Dr. Dre And His Production Crew, Or 'a Tribe Called Quest.' I Miss Albums Like Those.

I'm Concerned With Being In Shape, And I Definitely Experienced The Results Of Being In Shape. And I Know How Incredible It Makes Me Feel, So When I Feel Like I'm Gaining A Little Weight, I Make A Conscious Effort To Return Back To Being In Shape. Being Shape Has Given Me A Feeling And An Ability To Perform In Many Different Areas.

My Craziest Ideas Come From Cartoons. I Approach Music By Taking That Cartoon Extreme And The Real Life Extreme And Finding Somewhere In The Middle. The Animated Element Lures People In, But The Real-life Substance Puts The Nail In The Coffin.

I Am Extremely Happy. It's Just An Amazing Feeling To Be In This Space At This Stage Of My Life After All That I've Gone Through And Still Be Able To Make The Music That Is Garnishing This Powerful Momentum In The Game Right Now And You Know, Get The Excitement Of My Record Company And My Family And My Kids, Coming Home From School, Talking About How Their Friends Declare Me The Unanimously As The Hottest Artist In The Game Right Now. All Of That Is The Rewarding Feeling You Can't Put A Price Tag On.

I Want You To See That I'm Looking. Look At Me Look At You. I'm Cool With That.
