When I'm Making The Music, I Feel

Before I Think We Was Emcees, We Was More Or Less Narrators Too. Because If You Look At The Early '80s Hip Hop, It Was So Much Creativity Goin' On With Artists Like Then, Like Slick Rick, Then You Had Rakim, And You Had These Different Kind Of Artists Back Then. And We Was A Marble Cake Of All These Artists. So I Didn't Have A Problem With Writin' Stories Because I Felt Like That Was Somethin' I Loved To Do. Even To This Day, I Really Consider Myself An Entertainer-slash-narrator. I Like To Talk About Stuff That Goes On.

The Most Important Thing Is Just To Be Recognised As A Legend, Like The People Call Me. To Have That Title Attached To Your Name, You've Got To Be A Bad Man. It's An Honour To Have That Role.

The Main Thing I Look At Is: Is It From The Heart? If I Know That You Down With Me, Then We Always Gonna Be Down Through Whatever The Thick And Thin.

Growing Up In Music Motivated Me. I Applied That To My Education And It Made Me A Better Person.

When You Think Of A Chef You Think Of Somebody That Could Cook - You Don't Think Of Chef That Says, 'yo, I Make Only Steaks'. No. A Chef Knows How To Bake, He Knows How To Fry, He Knows How To Sautee, He Knows How To Do Everything That's Pertaining To Food, And That's How I Felt About My Lyrical Position. It's Like I Would Say, 'today I'm Gonna Make A Hot Salmon. Tomorrow I Make You Spaghetti. The Next Day I Make You Baked Fish'. This Is How My Lyrical Content In My Head Was Already Bein' Reciprocated To The World, Bein' Given To Y'all Like That.
