Usually when you hear about rappers in Asia, they always try to be like gangsters and stuff like that and I don't get it.
My favorite rappers are a lot of other people's favorite rappers. I love Jay Z, Kanye, 2Pac, Biggie, old Mos Def.
I didn't want to be one of these rappers that holds his chain up just faking like he has money. I wanted more.
If you look at companies like Twitter, Google, all these companies started with ideas and then everybody used it. In my world, people don't think like that. Rappers chase the next check. They become a slave to labels and eventually that money starts shrinking.
When I'm in the studio with other rappers, we talk about social issues.
We as rappers have a job and have to get fans music and let them know about stuff that's coming out. So if everyone migrates to Twitter, that's where we go.
I was one of the first rappers to have his own forum. Then 50 Cent made 'Thisis50.com,' and everyone made sites just like it.
If I was a white rapper, the bar for me would be Eminem. Of course his white skin helped him excel to heights that a lot of other rappers couldn't, but he still was talented. People gravitated towards him because of his skills. He stood the test of time.
It's always cool when you get immortalized on records. I am just happy that I have gotten to the level where rappers who can actually rap say my name in records, regardless if it's a diss or not.
Rappers have traditionally put products in songs, and it's been products that don't put anything back into our community.
