I can't even see me wasting my time or my talent to disrespect another black man.

Everybody in the '80s, well, we hate rap. Now, the biggest rapper in the world... Eminem. Rap's a black thing.

Biggie is my favorite rapper, for sure. No other artist has impacted me that much.

I like Biggie. Like 'Pac, he was one of the best rappers in the business. Why would I try to do something to him?

I don't know rap. I can't tell you a Tupac song. But you put on some go-go, and I'll know it word-for-word. That's why I feel like I got my own sound - or a D.C. sound.

I want the feuds to come back - there aren't enough rap feuds anymore. I want a serious rap-off.

It must surprise people that I'm such a rap fan, but it's true. Sometimes, just staying in, putting on some rap music, and letting loose is all I need to have a good time.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.

To me, rap music is bigger than who's the coolest rapper, the biggest rapper. It's everything about your personality.

Nas always been my favorite rapper, but 50 Cent, he changed my way of thinking about music 'cause he was so detailed in his music, I knew that wasn't lying. I never felt Tupac that way; I never felt Biggie that way. I love Nas music, but I never felt and believed like, 'This is for real.' 'Cause I grew up that gangsta lifestyle.
