My favorite artists always documented emotion. Marvin Gaye and Al Green and Sade and Aaliyah.

Kanye West is my favorite artist.

Green is one of my favorite colors - emerald green.

My favorite caricaturist is Al Hirschfeld. I'm always trying to give my caricatures that streamlined quality - and I often fall short.

You know, there are artists who are 35 and up that still make rap and that still works for them. I don't know if I want to be that guy.

I don't really have a gimmick or a 'thing.' I'm one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day.
