I think there are a lot of dudes out there that are runnin' out of gas. Some of my favourites, even ones I look up to... I haven't been fully impressed with their dynamics of makin' a body of work that makes sense to me.
I just want to be remembered as a dope MC. As somebody who really covered a lot of ground and became internationally known.
No question I would speed for cracks and weed The combination made my eyes bleed.
When you devote yourself to being an artist, you have to stay on your craft and always try to get better and better.
The better you get, the more your legacy shines. I always just try to go hard. If you don't want do it for real, don't do it at all.
All I did was take my time, figure out where I made a lot of mistakes and try not to make them no more.
In a nutshell though, it's just all about opening up to the people that really care about my career and really listening to everybody who is listening to me. It's just made me stronger, to really be able to open up that door and listen to everybody else's opinions.
I love to get on tracks with brothers like Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, the GZA. The whole crew is golden, man. When you think of us, you gotta say, 'Yo, these are the Jacksons of hip-hop.'
