I think men, growing up, you have to go through some form of hardship. You've got to harden the metal.

You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.

I think that men need to have a little bit of manism. You have feminism. I don't have a problem with that.

I think L.A. radio is learning from the Bay. The Bay is a very classic place. Mac Mall, C-Bo, all that stuff, they love their artists, they're old school up there. My first big concert was playing in the Bay; I played the Fillmore.

The fundamental vision hasn't changed. What does change is how you get there, because there are still problems you have to figure out.

First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.

I used to be so aggressive, but after a while I started learning. It's not that I know how to adapt, but I know all styles of fighting so I can change my style of fighting to whatever it needs to be. That just comes from years of training and a lot of sparring partners.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
