"people might think guys like mack 10 are just gangstas," t-bone states, "but gangstas are looking for god, too. that's what our song 'a few good men' (produced by fredwreck, dr. dre's right-hand man) is about. mack says, 'i'm all about Jesus but i'm nothin' like mase / i'm too gully and ghetto, but still covered in his grace!' he still says stuff like 'if you see me in a 6-4, tuck your pistol / it's on if you miss, so be careful what you wish for.' he's not trying to be something that he's not. in the end, we talk about bringing hip-hop where it used to be, and challenging listeners to repent of their sins. "the reason I have to expand beyond 'gospel/hip hop,'' t-bone concludes, "is when people hear that term, their guard goes up. I don't want to alienate people. I don't want a muslim or a hindu to hear music on my cd and say, 'that's not where i'm at. I serve another god.' my music is for everybody. god is for everyone. love is for everyone. I made a universal record everybody can bang without a barrier restricting you from listening freely." "it's time for me to step out in front of the masses, get in the game with the best. i've got my armor and i'm fully equipped!"
