I was working - just a regular working-class guy - but, at the same time, always aspired to do music.

If you want it, and you want to get it, then you've got to work hard for it, like Tupac was working hard for it.

Whatever I do, I just want it to be good.

I'm a working-class person, working with class.

Growing up, you hear Tupac's music, it's kind of like... it goes without saying that everyone likes Tupac.

'Dear Mama' is my favorite song from Tupac, man. It touches you, and I think that that's the most important thing with music.
