The Worst Part Of Success

As I've Grown As An Artist, I've Learned That My Mission Statement Is Really Self-expression. I Don't Want Anybody To Classify My Music. I Want Them To Say, "this Is Somebody Who's Recognizing His True Feelings, His True Emotions, Ideas, Thoughts, Opinions, And Views On The World, All On One Record." I Want People To Recognize That And To Take It And Apply It To Their Own Lives. You Know What I'm Saying? The More And More I Get Out And Talk To Different People, I Realize They Appreciate That - Me Being Unapologetic In Whatever Views And Approach I Have.

You Can Have The Platinum Album, But When You Still Feel Like You Haven't Quite Found Your Place In The World - It Kind Of Gives A Crazy Offset.

I've Got An Extra-specific Story About Dr. Dre. I Saw Him When I Was 9 Years Old In Compton - Him And Tupac. They Were Shooting The Second 'california Love' Video. My Pops Had Seen Him And Ran Back To The House And Got Me, Put Me On His Neck, And We Stood There Watching Dre And Pac In A Bentley.

I Was Raised Inside The Gang Culture.

That's The Ultimate Thing I Want To Do In Making Music - To Be Able To Inspire Somebody Else.
