"The thing about Puff -- sleep. You never sleep. Always keep doing
what you gotta do. Flood the market. If it's hot make everybody know
it's hot. ...He sat me down and asked me 'Do you wanna be a gold artist
that's strugglin?' or 'Do you wanna be a multi-platinum artist that's
livin' good and takin care of his family?' ...He taught me the game.
That you can please your people/partners and at the same time please
other people all over."
"I grew up an only child. My mother went to school in the morning
to work in the evening and to school at night. So me just being able
to run around, it leads into a lot of things. I never had a father figure.
And my mother being from Jamaica, she wasn't hip to the street. ...She
couldn't really tell why she didn't want me in the street. She just knew
she didn't want me in the streets. ...And it left my curiosity open.
So I'm definitely tryin to be a father and let my kids know why they
should be doin things. Even though their mother will tell 'em, hearin
it from a father will tighten it up a little bit."
