That’s why I like a Ludacris cause he got his own lane, yo. All of the guys that are great got they own lane, yo. Luda is a relatively new artist, but I can easily see down the line, when they talk about the last generation of who was ill? Definitely Luda or Eminem. It’s all about having your own lane. Like the Jin lane...no one else can come in the Jin lane. I can come into your lane but you can’t come in my lane! [Laughs]
HHDX: That’s what I see a lot on the new album, a lot of “This is me and this is what I represent.” People might look at you weird for saying you could cry over a girl or talking about how wack it is to just talk about shaking asses in the club.
Jin: My whole thing is balance. I love ass. I love tits. I love seeing them shake. But once you get into a point where it’s an extreme of either one, then it becomes an issue.
HHDX: What I was referring to was “Foolish Little Girls,” because I work with kids and...
Jin: It’s all about the kids, man. I have a little sister that’s 14. She’s turning on Hot 97 and she’s listening to shit like (impersonating singing) “Why don't you pull down your pants just a lil’ bit.” And this has me like “Damn, this shit is powerful.” Little do you know, that affects her and it affects the way she sees herself. I’m not mad at that, because they gotta do what they gotta do. But, I just think they need to be balanced. Definitely, a big part of it is in the upraising of the children too. I'm not on some “Artists are responsible for everything!” You know, because I think your parents are only right because I listened to all types of Hip-Hop over the last six or seven years. I listen to Wu Tang, 36 Chambers and all of that drug dealin’, gun bustin’. I listen to Onyx’s Throw Ya Gunz in the Air but that never affected me to when I got heated I (would be) like “Yo, man...I’m going to run out and put a fucking bullet in this guy’s head!” You know? That’s because of my upbringings. So, it’s not only the artists fault, but I think artists need to know that it’s a team effort. Artists have to know that they are influential on kids.
