VIDEO – THE FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH –
Jan. 25, 2022 – I first took a drink of alcohol when I was 14 years old. I stole it from my parents’ liquor cabinet, which was above the refrigerator. I had one shot and I wondered what two would feel like. And then I had two and I wondered what four would feel like.
I took 12 shots of vodka by myself. I probably weighed 130 pounds. I ended up on a bus downtown, then in a McDonald’s, where I threw up in a trash can and had to run from the cops. That was my first experience drinking. From the very start, I had the allergy where one wasn’t enough, and once I started, I couldn’t stop.
I started rapping around the same time I started using drugs and alcohol. When it comes to creativity, there’s this false notion that musicians are at their best when they are using a ton of drugs — that’s how they channel the spirit. That has never been my experience. When I use drugs and alcohol, I shut off. I have a veil over my eyes. I can’t see the truth anymore. I sit on the couch and play PlayStation with my friends. Maybe I’ll be freestyling in a park, but in terms of making albums, it’s going to be impossible. When I’m sober, I’m prolific and productive.
