Prodigy

I'm not scared to speak my mind and tell you what it is.

I can't front: I like Kanye.

I used to be cold and emotionless. I believe the disease I was born with made me that way.

You got a lot of fradulent rebels and revolutionaries who are really false prophets.

We didn't have any problem with 2Pac. We liked his music.

Premier was one of the first producers that we reached out to, and he was like, 'Hell yeah! Let's get to work.' He was showing us love and giving young, new artists a chance.

I love New York. It 'as made me who I am, know what I mean?

When I was a kid, I used to love to play 'Dig Dug.' It was, like, this little dude, where he digs in the dirt and makes tunnels.

That's probably the key to our success and our longevity, sticking to our formula and what we do best, the hardcore Mobb Deep sound, rather than chasing trains. But we're always experimenting with the art and the creativity of hip-hop.

There isn't just one black experience out here.

My family had a lot to do with 'My Infamous Life.' They were the inspiration behind me starting to write. I had an interesting family life dating way back, and they did a lot in their lifetime.

Going to prison actually helped save my life, I believe.
