I got started in 1995, working in a group called The Cash Money Click.

I got a cold feeling toward religion in general. I don't think God would want to separate families.

I came into the rap game in 1992; my life was changing, but my group wasn't successful; I also saw the biggest rappers in the world die all of a sudden in the ensuing years, so it was a matter of conquering yourself before you can conquer the world.

I wanted to go into prison and come out a better person - mentally, physically. So, I read a lot of books, got my GED while I was in there, and worked out every day. Strong body, strong mind.

I'm an adrenaline guy. I like to do stuff that gets my blood pumping, like roller coasters or jumping out of planes. I'm into all that crazy stuff.

The rules, religion to religion that man set forth, made me shy away from religion and have my own one on one with God and cut out the middleman.
