The Reason I Want To Be Alone,

Mostly Every Form Of American Music Is Dead. It's Been Dead. R&b Isn't Really Good. You Got A Handful Of Great Guys - Ne-yo, R. Kelly, Usher. You Have A Handful Of Great Female Artists. But For The Most Part The Music World's Changing And Change Is Good. You Have To Make Adjustments If You Want To Survive In That World. You Start To Thinking About Creative Moments - Bliss. When Everything Was All Good. You Realize That In Comparison To The Way Hip-hop Started Off, Where We Should Be At Right Now Is Not There.

Man, Me And Biggie Were The Biggest Artists In New York. When He Passed, I Was So Messed Up. My Attitude Was Messed Up About Him Dying. There Was An East-west Thing Back Then, And I Was In War Mode.

When You Know That You Have So Much Energy And So Much To Give, It Would Be A Shame If The Facilitators Of That Aren't Enthusiastic About You Doing It, Because You've Been Doing It For So Long. So You Just Gotta Figure Out Ways In This Insane Business To Keep It Fresh.
