I'm a soccer dad at heart. I want five kids, and I want to get married. I want to coach Little League.
I know a lot of people who are weak, who are in a perpetual cycle of poverty and being locked up. There are guys from my neighborhood who are in jail or who are dead. It does take a certain strength to know your environment and say, 'I can grow beyond it.'
I love kids, outings, camping, sports, Legoland, all the Daddy stuff. I love it. I wish I could just do that, but I have to work, too.
Rap is definitely a youthful expression.
With my first son I cut his umbilical cord and everything, so I'm a hands-on father, to say the least.
