I was doing the wrong thing, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. It's like if you're dealing with somebody who is high on drugs, they can look back at it and say, Wow, I was destroying myself. But during the period, they think they're doing the right thing.

The trick with hip-hop-hip-hop is a sport. The only music that's really, really close to a sport. It starts off, My DJ's better than yours. I can out-rap you, I can out-dance you, my graffiti piece is better than you. It's very competitive.
