We, as artists, we have the right to express ourselves. That is our first amendment, freedom of speech. But I also believe that we have an obligation to the youth to be somewhat responsible in what we say on records. But I think that comes with age. I think that comes with artists growing up and becoming assured of who they are as people.

A lot of people say I tried to emulate Tupac, but when I look back at my career, we're very different artists. I took pages out of Pac's book, of course, and lots of other rappers - Biggie, Nas - of course you take pages out of those books, but you eventually make it your own thing. And I think I did a good job of that.

Right now I'm on my God flow, you know what I mean? I got Job 1:21 tattooed on my chest.

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

I know it sounds really weedy, but we are all children who seek approval from our parents.

India unfortunately has the unenviable reputation of being the home to the largest number of undernourished children, women and men in the world.

It was a big step for me to take, going away from my family to go and play in a different culture, and I understand why people don't do it.
