I also believe that you are what you have to defend, and if you're a black man that's always going to be the bar against which you are judged, whether you want to align yourself with those themes or not. You can think of yourself as a colourless person, but nobody else is gonna.

It is hard for a black man to just be himself. We spend so much time in defense of something that is indefensible because there is nothing to defend.

I've been in situations where I was the only black guy. We're in a time now where nobody wants to see that. But it still happens.

Learn to love being black.

Please, all you MCs out there, all you fans out there, don't think Big gonna make a record dissing 2Pac or the West Coast because it's not going down like that. I cant even see me wasting my time or my talent to disrespect another black man.

I don't think being black has held me back at all. Being black makes you strong.

Yeah, I make fun of blacks, and why not? I'm not a black.

I had to prove you could be a new kind of black man. I had to show the world.

I am not a black artist, I am an artist.
