I'm Starting To Find Out

I Hate The Hype. When 50 Cent Came Out, People Were Saying That He Was The Best Rapper Alive: "oh, He Got Shot Nine Times, He's Better Than Tupac, He's Better Than Biggie." That Was All Hype.

For Me, Growing Up In Harlem And Then Migrating Down To Soho And The Lower East Side And Chillin' Down There And Making That My Stomping Ground... That Was A Big Thing, Because I'm From Harlem, And Downtown Is More Artsy And Also More Open-minded. So I Got The Best Of Both Worlds.

I Want To Be The First Guy To Help People Accept Everybody For Who They Are. I'm Talking About Colors, Religions, Sex, Everybody. My Music Is For Everybody, It's Not Just For One Kind Of Group.

Sometimes I Feel Like What's Hard For Fashion Designers To Do Is Take Looks From Off The Runway And Actually Put It Into Existence, Into Reality. That's Really The Hard Part.

All Of The Young People - The Artsy People, People Who Get Overlooked Because They're Weird Or They Don't Have Hype Around Them - Need To Get Some Shine.
