I'm an overgrown fan so it's always fun to hang out with my fellow fans and chew the fat. It's even better when there are a lot of top flight creators thrown into the mix.

A lot of hip-hop fans resented them for being the token hip-hop group that was representing hip-hop culture to the mainstream. It wasn't their fault; they're just an accessible, easy-going group that started making really good pop music and was celebrated by everybody after they added Fergie. But there was a lot of resentment and hate.

I want to give the fans as much as I can for as long as I can,

You know, I'm very aware of what I've done already, but I think I can give the fans more, ... I think people expect more out of me. They expect bigger fights, more championships, you know, do something great at 135.

It's kind of a fun thing for people to say they pulled a handcart over Rocky Ridge.
