I'm Identified As A New

The Effect Hip-hop Had On Me Was Enormous. I Was Exposed To It By Happenstance. My Father Worked At A Radio Station In New York Called Wktu Disco 92. It Was The First Radio Station In New York City To Play Disco In The Late '70s.

Being A Good Rapper Is Hard To Do. I'm A Good Rapaport, But That's About It.

Being No. 1. It's Talked About All Of The Time In Hip-hop. 'i'm Still No. 1! I'm The Best! I'm The Greatest Of All Time!' It's The Same Mentality In Sports.

I'm A New York Person. I've Never Gone Out Of The Way To Speak To The Press To Change My Persona - I Probably Should Have. It's Too Late Now. But When I First Started I Was Like, "i'm Gonna Stay This Way. I'm Gonna Be This Way," And I Continued To. I Probably Should Have Sugarcoated It Like, "this Is Not Really The Way I Am - I'm An Actor."

Call It Stubborn, Call It Ignorant, Call It What You Want, But I Don't Think I Have To Join A Particular Faith Or Culture Or Creed Or Religion Just To Fit In.
