I never wanted to do the mixtape circuit and 300,000 people hear it and that's a chapter of my life and when I do another album I'm coming off of that chapter but the whole world didn't hear that chapter so it's like I would have to start over.
Rakim
Even when I was out on tour I used to fly home on the weekends to be with my girl and be with my family to see my kids grow up and just be there for them. When they started going to school it was like that too whether it was homework or if I have to go up to the school I was there.

Hopefully the rappers can start to open the eyes in the neighborhoods and communities.

What's powerful about the mind, the mind comes through every physical and when the physical goes the mind still exists.
