That's the reason why I'm making albums. That's the reason why I love hip-hop: It's a challenge every time.

At the end of the day I want to be the guy who experienced music in all type of ways, with hip-hop being the roots of it.

I'm forever learning and that's why I'm always able to create new styles and new dimensions of hip-hop.

I'm born and raised in Georgia, so I have a lot of appreciation for hip-hop, but I want to be able to show the emotional side of me.

I wanna make my imprint in the game as far as music - hip-hop, and just music, period. 'Cause I come from hip-hop, that's my background, but I'm not gonna let that limit me from where I can go.

I don't wanna be known as just a hip-hop artist. I wanna take it to a whole 'nother level.

Hip-hop saved my life, man. It's the only thing I've ever been even decent at. I don't know how to do anything else.

Hip hop has been an integral part of my life and my whole career. I started off doing videos with Ice Cube and Dre and Mary J. Blige and TLC.

Hip Hop has become real constrained. The creative juices and creative flows have been diminished.

I feel like everything I do in the hip-hop world has an influence. People don't really notice what I did until somebody else does it. As far as hip-hop goes, I want to continue to make good music, and good art. I don't really follow the state of hip-hop.
