I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat. And I built a boat. I had a boat built for me, I mean, and my second day out to sea I realized that (a) I'm not a sailor, and (b) I have no knowledge of basic navigation.

In one of my songs, in the song on the Why? remix that I did with Jadakiss in 2004, I said, Why is Bush actin' like they tryin' to get Osama? Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama? This is in 2004 on the Why? remix and I said that because I really had belief that Obama was the right person to be president
