Life Is For Living, Not Living Uptight,

I'm Not Concerned With Noise Because I'm Playing The Long Game.

I Have Inherited Two Of The Most Important Brands In Hip-hop, Def Jam And Roc-a-fella. Reid And Universal Music Group Have Given Me The Opportunity To Manage The Companies I Have Contributed To My Whole Career. I Feel This Is A Giant Step For Me And The Entire Artist Community.

I Love That Because That's What I'm Supposed To Be Doing - Whether It's Accepted B Everybody Or Not. I'm Supposed To Be Pushing That Envelope And Trying New Things. And People Are Supposed To Say, Hov, You Might Have Went Too Far.

If Skills Sold Truth Be Told I'd Probably Be Lyrically Talib Kweli Truthfully I Want To Rhyme Like Common Sense (but I Did Five Mil) I Ain't Been Rhyming Like Common Since.

I Would Run Into The Corner Store, The Bodega, And Just Grab A Paper Bag Or Buy Juice - Anything Just To Get A Paper Bag. And I'd Write The Words On The Paper Bag And Stuff These Ideas In My Pocket Until I Got Back. Then I Would Transfer Them Into The Notebook.
