resonates with you please also leave it
in the comments below and put quotes
around it so other people can be
inspired as well let those for success
this comes from being born in New York
and just one to do all the things I
dreamed about I always had some kind of
drive and
but I was going to be screenplay writer
know whether I was going to be artists
that Illustrated comic books I wanted to
be a businessman it set up my room like
an office when I was like ten years old
whatever I got into always plan to excel
I always believed that I could have it I
always believed that I could give people
my ideas to our live with barbeque was
the first time you were ever on a song
what was that like when you first heard
that when I first heard live at the
barbecue on radio I was just walking
through my neighborhood and I saw a
bunch of older guys it was late night as
I walked by I hit a song and I’m like
wow I’m telling some of the guys that’s
me but you know the older faded day
after we listened it to me sort of like
yeah okay cool when they going back to
the conversation they’re not listening
but it didn’t matter
I heard me that walked back to my block
I was sort of in a daze like it’s
happening
okay it’s happening I’m in rap now I’m
I’m a part of this rap thing that was my
dream just that
so I’m like hi this is perfect
this is actually perfect I’ve opened the
door the door has open for me to have a
chance to be heard and I will be a name
known in this great thing called rap my
goal was to be the best to change the
game I realized I could do that at that
point I said nah no one could tell me
anything now I got it I know what it
takes I got what it takes and what I’m
telling artists is you got to have balls
they got to let these guys know if
you’re a DJ be a DJ if you’re a radio
personality be a radio personality and
nothing more we make the music that
allows them to have a voice on a radio
and they took control and try to say say
that they have all the power and going
to dictate what we have to do I spoke
out against it so they got a dummy to go
up there and be a dummy on the radio and
speak on their behalf and talk about me
and this is really unfortunate because
they using them and he’s not even a part
of my fight my fight is a big fight my
fight is against any power structure
that’s going to try to hold back freedom
of speech and I fight ain’t over yet my
advice for the young adores would be you
know push yourself all away don’t obsess
over what anybody else is doing
if you have given opportunity and you’re
lucky enough to have freedom to do what
you want to do on your career while I
trap yourself why do something that’s
not you around Nostradamus I wasn’t
motivated like I was before he was gone
Park was gone I didn’t see a reason to
keep making music at that time I needed
some time off you get him right like a
new beginning as a new beginning of real
silly
today I have a great appreciation for
those people out there that got me here
today for the experience I had a journey
that I had I wish you’d acknowledge
something you know this is some of you
may know somebody may not a lot of your
young this brother right here his name
is lost professor this brother right
here
started a food poor base sauce early
nineties this brother right here think
about be enough to give a 60 year old
kid a shot at a studio it put me on that
song laugh at the barbecue this is my
dude I feel like I can stop now
and I’m totally satisfied but I’m really
happy that is this some burning and you
still to put out more I love music hip
hop music singing whatever I love music
that’s telling me that’s dead burns in
me rest is history
can you campaign
I love you never stop never show ya what
free you means never settling it’s like
wanting to be the best at whatever you
do never stop it to you the best like I
don’t believe in doing anything halfway
I believe in going all the way so we
gotta stop growing up in Queensbridge
hip hop was the most amazing thing I
ever heard
there was nothing more important to me
in the whole world then having a voice I
wanted to make a big impact on this
artform I wanted to kick everybody out I
wanted to open up a doorway for another
generation one thing I don’t ever want
to be as mainstream my goal is to not be
what the mainstream calls a legend I
just want to do what I do
legends a big big title
oh there’s enough legends out there you
know I mean I’m just I’m just living how
it feel to know you timeless you’re
forever every time you touch that mic
every time you do a concert a show a
club and you know you can perform your
catalogue and it still feel brand-new
and if you didn’t want to make another
record you’re forever relevant it’s
important because there’s a lot of
artists only can make one record can you
make an album or make it past the first
out this is a special blessing you know
I mean this that this rest a special
cloth alert this is what I’m talking
about in saying I got you yo is is you
for nice it’s wrong word is
I don’t have the word for it is um I’m
grateful most of all because I’m just a
fan I’m uh I’m a fan of the music and
the art form so that’s all I want to be
as a fan if I come out to the stage if I
show up with the records and and not
many people show up with me I get it
it’s not it’s not her I don’t have to
you know one owes me anything
I appreciate people’s ears and that’s it
so if I get I just go with the feeling
and go with the vibe and um and whatever
happens you know it’s a learning
experience and then you come back again
stronger but um every time I’m out there
I never know if who’s gonna show up
hello somebody there don’t worry about
