"For that time period when I was away, I was watching what was going on in the game -- anything that was hot at that moment, anybody that was really killing s--t. I felt so bad about myself and the music that I was creating, I felt I was starting to turn into a hater. Singling Kanye and Wayne out at that time period, they were the ones killing it the most to me and it hurt. I'd pop a CD in and be like, 'F--k, man, I’m not doing this no more.'"
