I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
I always say this about my music, and music in general: Music is like a time capsule. Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment.
I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

Smacked her so hard I knocked her clothes backwards like Kris Kross.
Britney Spears has shoulders like a man.
If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.
Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.
Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.
I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.
I need drama in my life to keep making music.
There was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know.
I grew up listening to 2 Live Crew and N.W.A. and I never went out and shot nobody.
When 'Paul's Boutique' came out, I was one of the fans that didn't get it.
