However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences - and I stray pretty far from mine - I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously.
Even if I would have left on a good note, there is still going to be people who don't like you, who don't like what you stand for. I can't worry about that.
Hip-hop is definitely not what it used to be, which was creative, original music.
