In The 2000s, I Became An Artist.

I Do Secret Stand-up Shows Around New York. I Announce And Tweet This To Nobody - I Get Onstage And I Do A Quick Five Minutes.

I Don't Believe In Good Music And Bad Music Anymore. I'm Through With That Phase Of My Life. Sometimes I Just Wanna Feel Good, So I Put On A Good Record. But Mostly I'm More Of A Businessman Than A Music Fan, So I'm Listening To Music In Terms Of, Is This Effective Or Not Effective?

I'm Not One Of Those People Who's So Blinded By My Own Work And My Sweat. It's Kind Of Risky Writing A Memoir When You're Really Part Of A Larger Universe.

My Theory Is That Nine Times Out Of Ten, If There's A Depression, More A Social Depression Than Anything, It Brings Out The Best Art In Black People. The Best Example Is, Reagan And Bush Gave Us The Best Years Of Hiphop.

According To My Parents, I Just Started Drumming When I Was Two. I Traveled With Them From Five To Seven On The Road, Playing Percussion. Between 8 And 12, My Dad Sort Of Prepared Me By Teaching Me Every Aspect Of Road Life.
