You Think That You Can Hide; You

Got Demons On Both Shoulders.

Hip-hop Reflects The Truth, And The Problem Is That Hip-hop Exposes A Lot Of The Negative Truth That Society Tries To Conceal. It's A Platform Where We Could Offer Information, But It's Also An Escape.

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 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.

You Need To Sweat Yourself. Don't Sweat Nobody Else.
