I've Never Been The Type Of Person

Before I Think We Was Emcees, We Was More Or Less Narrators Too. Because If You Look At The Early '80s Hip Hop, It Was So Much Creativity Goin' On With Artists Like Then, Like Slick Rick, Then You Had Rakim, And You Had These Different Kind Of Artists Back Then. And We Was A Marble Cake Of All These Artists. So I Didn't Have A Problem With Writin' Stories Because I Felt Like That Was Somethin' I Loved To Do. Even To This Day, I Really Consider Myself An Entertainer-slash-narrator. I Like To Talk About Stuff That Goes On.

When You Grow Up In That Environment Of Drugs And Guns And People Gettin' Hurt, It Start To Reflect Your Background. And I Think, At That Time When I Was Doin' It, That's All I Knew. But As I Got Older In The Business, I Stopped Bein' Involved With That, And I Started To Look At The World. And I Said, 'yo, I Wanna Start Talkin' About Everything That Goes On In The World. I Don't Wanna Just Limit Myself To One Style'.

I Doubt If You Get Another Wu-tang Clan. That Might Be Harder Than Getting The New Jackson Five

You Know The Things I Went Through As A Youngster, Coming Into The Business, All The Good, The Bad And The Ugly That Came. I'd Had A Rough Life. I Grew Up Single Parent. My Mom, She Was Like A Father To Me.

In The Early 2000s, I Was Going Through A Lot. I Didn't Have My Head Screwed On Right. Where I Was At As A Man, I Was Still Growing Up.
