“Battle rap is a culture. That’s boxing, it’s like boxing.”

I say ‘cuz’ around Bloods, and I say ‘blood’ around Crips…I’m twisted. Got Mary, got Lucy, got Molly: that’s wifey, girlfriend and mistress.

I’m really focused on These Days and I’m trying to take it as far as I can – I feel like it’s a strong body of work. I just want to give it the ame kind of attention I give all my projects.

I have respect for the sport so I will contribute to the sport by encouraging artists .

King Of The Dot is huge; battle rap is huge right now. My first battle that I went to was King Of The Dot – shout out to Lush One.

I’ve been watching battle rap since that time period when Cassidy was hot, Murda Mook and Lux first when at it. That was a very pivotal time in hip-hop.

I feel like battle rap is as popular as it’s ever been, today. With Total Slaughter it’s getting real popular.

I’m just a demon that means well. Freelance for God, but do the work of Satan.

I got plenty. You can have all my light, my shine. I got plenty. All my boys here, we working being creative.

106 & Park, Freestyle Friday, that was real pivotal. I feel like he has the right to do that, he comes from that era so he has the right to do that.

These Days I’m feeling real good.

I’ve been to Vancouver every year for the last four years, since 2011 when I came out with Murs.

[Positive mental attitude] is a practice, you gotta practice. I practice being still.

I’m like Donatello. For real. You probably want to come play your joints for me get my condolence.

You had to look at it as sales, as costumer service. Costumer’s alwasy right, you know? Service with a smile. Those type of things so it’s just kinda in me. In my DNA.

People always known me for rappin’. So I guess that maybe just hindered me, like “oh well, I mid-as-well go long term with it.”

I don’t even really understand that concept of someone being ‘smart’ or someone else being ‘smarter.’ I think that except for the obvious special cases, we’re all equal.

I always put my boxing first.

A boxer never sees the big one that hits him.

Anybody going into boxing already has brain damage.

To make it in boxing, you must captivate the fans in America, too.

My concern is what fight we can give to the fans. My first concern as a boxer is to try hard and give a good fight for the fans.

The game’s been good to me and I hope I’ve been good to the game. I’m 50 years old and I’ve pretty much did everything that I wanted to do in boxing.

Boxing’s a sport that gives you licence to act like an idiot, I think.

There’s ups and downs with boxing, layoffs are part of the sport and they can either help or hurt a guy.
