Back in the day, when the D.J. would be playing a record, Id be on the mic trying to hype up the crowd. So once Public Enemy became a rap group, I decided that thats the role that I wanted to take on. I wanted to be the one that was hyping, because Ive always been good at it. I can hype up any crowd.
If anyone wants to know what the definition of 'dope' means, it's: 'Definition of Public Enemy.
I worked as a head cook at courthouses and high schools. I left it behind when I started getting into my music real heavy.
What I'm trying to do is put back into rap music what's missing - which is the good part, the fun part, that party part.
I set our house on fire when I was a little child playing with lighters. Boy, did I burn the place down!
I'm trying to grow. I don't want to stay on the same page.
Doing scripted acting is a challenge to me. I can't remember things too good, so remembering lines is a challenge to your boy.
I try and spend a lot of time with my kids. I try and have fun with my kids. I try to put father time in there.
I'm not doing no more 'Flavor of Loves.' I'm trying to grow. I don't want to stay on the same page. You can't stay on the same page in order to get to the next chap.
I lost my virginity when I was 6 years old.
I just want to show the world it's never too late to get your diploma, and show kids they should stay in school and not wait until you're old to get it.
I got a lot happening, a whole lot, and it's not always easy being me.
I have over a hundred clocks. I've got fancy clocks and clocks from all over the world that people made for me.
Best advice that I ever got is to do whatever it takes to make myself happy, so that I'll be able to make others happy. If I'm not happy, I can't make other people happy.
