The first thing on my mind when I wake in the morning working to further my progress. That’s the real breakfast of champtions (i.e. Wheaties).

Comparing my drive to be successful to the Daytona 500; and playing on that with Ghostface’s song Daytona 500 and how neither can be seen like Ghostface, Ghost, or cars going some 200 mph on a racetrack.

Playing on the “Large” in Large Professor’s name, and how we all want make money but all while no compromising our art and the pressure that comes with that at times.

This rap life isn’t all glits and glamour. You have to pay a lot of dues to make your dreams come true.

I want to be as big and influential as Biggie musically. This is double entendra, as Biggie was not only known for his legendary rhyming ability, but also for his large, husky frame.

I’m thankful to have relationships with some of the legends of Hip Hop because of my work ethic. We come together like the NATO, an alliance of countries from North America and Europe, for the love of the culture.

When it comes to the music, I dont care how much money, how many cars, how big your house is. If you cant rap and if you dont make jams, you don’t get respect in the game. All rappers won’t respect. When you get in the studio, on the mic, all that other stuff doesnt matter. Its all about the music.

Success comes from hard work. In my profession, to tend to your business, you have to be in the studio working on your craft.
