I’m not an artist that makes singles, I’m an artist that makes albums, and it’s a totally different thing.

I’m always gonna be compared to the greatest cats that’s in the game, but I lack a little bit less when I’m not as visible as other guys. So I live with that thought right...

When you think of Hollywood, you think of the land of opportunity. I always want to have the opportunity to do things conducive to my career.

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...

I’ve never been the type of person to jump up and throw out the album without it being what it’s supposed to be.

I could never say Rza’s trash. But he didn’t come with the right formula on ‘8 Diagrams.’ I think ‘Cuban Linx 2’ will have the Clan back where they need to be, but then it’s...
