The only thing that I'm scared of is not livin' up to the expectations of Dr. Dre and Eminem. [On his feud with bubblegum rapper Ja Rule] Right now he's desperate. He should be talking about me, not Eminem and [Dr. Dre] and everybody else. He'll lose, he knows that. The route that he has to take is the "I'm a mad gangsta" hardcore route, and ain't nobody gonna believe him. In Hollywood they say there's no business like show business. In the hood they say there's no business like ho' business. I'm not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain't me. A man becomes as attractive as an attractive woman when he becomes successful and is publicly noted. Power's an aphrodisiac. I think it's easier for the general public to embrace me in a negative way. You have people who already have a perception of me that says I'm a bad person. I don't display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has but I've developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings. In my neighborhood if you're too aggressive, you intimidate someone, they kill you. Or if you decide to be emotional and you start crying, you're a victim. You know, the kid in the schoolyard that doesn't want to fight always leaves with a black eye. You have to find a way to stay in the middle, somewhere where people just don't mess with you because they know that you don't have a problem with it if it goes there. [on his feuds with many of his fellow rappers, such as Nas, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Shyne, The Game, Ja Rule, Sheek Louch and Styles P., among others] If they keep comin' at me, I'll just keep responding back until they don't exist anymore. I got the time and energy to ruin what is left of their careers, if they want to do that. A lot of kids join the army to get a college education. That's why they do it, and they get sent into these horrible situations.
