We Have To Get Back

When You Live Your Life Through Records, The Records Are A Record Of Your Life.

It Was Absolutely Killing Me That I've Spent The First 25 Years Of My Life Tryin' To Avoid Bullets. That Was Always The Main Concern. Don't Go Out Late. Don't Go To Any Shady Neighborhoods. Don't Hang In Bars Alone. Why? Because You Wanna Avoid Bullets. So Once I Get To 35 Then I Was Like "woo, Okay. Made It." And Now There's A New Warning. Now It's Like Strokes; I Gotta Watch My Health.

Hip-hop Is An Instant Gratification, Winners And Losers Circle, And Often Those Who Are Losing Give Up After Three Or Four, Five Years.

I Think The Music Comes First, Then Comes The Fashion, And Thus, The Lifestyle. I Believe It Starts With Music, And Then The Person Delivering It Delivers The Lifestyle, The Fashion. Madonna Is A Great Example Of That.

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.
