When you do music, you have no control who comes to your shows.

The object is to make beautiful music for people to have forever. Music that stays - not just becomes a ringtone. Longevity.

Cause I bring the heater. Love me cause I'm your leader.

I just want to thank Wayne for even mentioning me. I've been following his career since he started, just watching him evolve. He was always clever with the rhymes. My own quest was always to get my music out to everybody in the world and working with Wayne is truly a way to get it out there.

My wife loves me but she don't like me. I'm still in the trenches every day. I'm still buildin' my name, and it's growin' rapidly, but not fast enough to where I can relax at home with my kids and my wife. I'm always on the road, 3 months at a time, 6 months at a time.

I'm independent. I use my own money. For everything.

If Heaven is up, I'm going. I know I'm right in my heart. This world is not my home. This life will soon be gone, and, one day, I'll spread my wings, as an angel, and fly away.

I will never slide, never fall, never fail.

I'm the ruler in my kingdom and my dark seat is hot. Step into my world and your heartbeat stop!

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but afraid of the thought of my people laid to rest They saying there is 6 million ways of death but not even one way to fade the stress.

When it came to music growing up, it wasn't just gospel and R&B. My uncle brought rock 'n' roll to me when I was younger, and I loved it. I was open to all music.

Tech N9ne is worldwide, man, it's the biggest thing ever to me and if it happens to blow as big as I expect, I won't be able to go anywhere. That's what I'm prepared to do, because my goal is to get my music to the world.

I'm a worldly angel, meaning I've adjusted to the ways of the world, even though I am a child of God. I wouldn't consider myself a Christian rapper, but if we were Christian rappers, we would kill.
