All I Did Was Take

It's True, The Shaolin And The Wu-tang, Could Be Dangerous.

I Think That, Right Now, I Am Travelling In Many Different Directions In My Mind, On Where I Wanted To Be. So Much Is Wantin' To Go Back, But I Still Gotta Move Forward. But I Think It's Just That I'm My Worst Critic At All Times, You Know? And When I Make Somethin', It May Be Five Or Ten Cuts Later Before I Actually Call It What It Is. I've Always Been That Kind Of Artist. I'm Gonna Put Myself Through The Sweat For It, Because I Think, As An Artist, That's What Made Me Iller, Is The Fact That I Didn't Wanna Just Put Out Anything And Everything. It's Just A Process, You Know What I Mean?

Before I Think We Was Emcees, We Was More Or Less Narrators Too. Because If You Look At The Early '80s Hip Hop, It Was So Much Creativity Goin' On With Artists Like Then, Like Slick Rick, Then You Had Rakim, And You Had These Different Kind Of Artists Back Then. And We Was A Marble Cake Of All These Artists. So I Didn't Have A Problem With Writin' Stories Because I Felt Like That Was Somethin' I Loved To Do. Even To This Day, I Really Consider Myself An Entertainer-slash-narrator. I Like To Talk About Stuff That Goes On.

A Star's The Work - The Work Ethic You Put Into The Business, And The People You Excite. We Only Wanted To Excite Only A Few People At That Time, Which Was Some O' The Emcees That Was Hot That Was In The Game.

But 'cuban Linx' Was A Project That Really Needed To Come, And I Really Wanted To Get It Off My Chest Because I Know That The Fans Were Really Skeptical About It, Like 'is This Really Gonna Be What It's Supposed To Be?' So Once Everybody Caught It For What It Was And Everybody Was Happy, That's Mission Accomplished For Me.
