When you listen to old-school music, you can smell your mother's food in the kitchen. You can feel where you was when you first heard that song. That's what's beautiful about music. It's for everyone, but we all have individual memories that make us love it.

People think the older you get, the wacker you get. I think the older I get, the better I get.

I love what I do. I'm still humble.

My kids listen to rap, so I try to keep up with as much as I can.

I always say a rapper is like a halfback in the NFL. You got about seven years, then it's a wrap.

I was heavily influenced by Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz, but I kind of wanted to take it somewhere else.
