Over the years, a lot of rappers - Lil' Wayne, Ice Cube - have used my name in their songs. I'm a real touchstone of history.

Out of all the R&B artists that have come out, I think my name has been used most in hip-hop songs.

I've called myself the Pied Piper, I've called myself the Weatherman, I've called myself Kellz, I've called myself a lot of things, changing the name, switching it up, just flipping, remixing. But never to harm anybody. Never to make a deep statement for people to dig into and figure it out.

When I started producing, I was just making music under all different names. 'Black Afro.' 'Super Grandmaster.' 'Mister Bull.' Like, the most stupid, idiotic names. 'Afrojack' was one of those idiotic names.

Well, Eminem, you know, I know him longer. Ive been signed to his label since 2001 and he's a good friend.

I am a hip-hop artist, as you probably know. My hip-hop name is Big Smalls.

My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.

My first rap name was Ralo. Because my first name is Carlos. I likened myself to what Busta Rhymes was doing when he first came out. And what Onyx did when they first came out - they reminded me of me.
