I'm in a transitional stage. I made a real effort to tone things down.

"Hopeless" makes me tear up: "I'm a black man but I feel so blue, so I smoke green and purple until my dreams come true. When my life seems hopeless makes a n----r lose focus, empty beer bottle and roaches." It's so damn sad. You ask yourself if you're exploiting a painful human condition to make a song.

It's a little bit of a contradiction--I feel bad about it but I rap about it. I'm human, and people need to know that.

OK, I think we're done.

Is there an overall album rating?

I hate the rating thing. I don't know--an 8?
