I'm on the very blackest part of the black list.

I'm very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That's my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it's not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.

I'm a black American, and I'm proud to represent who and where I'm from - unapologetically. There's no shame in my game.

One day I actually took the list into the bathroom and I put it up against my face and looked in the mirror and I realized I had one of two choices, change the list or change myself.

I made an album I'm very proud of, and that's about it.

I also don't have a desire to be on the A-list. I feel more people can relate to the D-list than the A-list.

I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity.

I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of.

I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I'm not ashamed of anything.

I was blacklisted because of this activity, so I'm not a typical anything.
