L.a.'s Always Been Good To Me.

In The Early 2000s, I Was Going Through A Lot. I Didn't Have My Head Screwed On Right. Where I Was At As A Man, I Was Still Growing Up.

I Think There Are A Lot Of Dudes Out There That Are Runnin' Out Of Gas. Some Of My Favourites, Even Ones I Look Up To... I Haven't Been Fully Impressed With Their Dynamics Of Makin' A Body Of Work That Makes Sense To Me.

Soul Music Has So Many Great Artists Who Put Their Thing Down. That's Important.

We Was Just Young Guys Who Wanted To Change. We Got Tired Of Doin' This Same Everyday Bullshit That We Was Doin', And We All Felt Like We Had Dreams O' Bein' A Big Star. You Know, As Far As With Myself, I Never Really Took It That Serious As Bein' A Star. I Only Took It That Serious As Bein' A Emcee, Which Is Two Different Things. You Know What I Mean?

A Star's The Work - The Work Ethic You Put Into The Business, And The People You Excite. We Only Wanted To Excite Only A Few People At That Time, Which Was Some O' The Emcees That Was Hot That Was In The Game.
