I Am Not A Gangster

Product Information

That, that is something different. Everyone is normal. We are different in our own ways but we are all the same at heart.

Where would you place yourself in the history of football? If there was a table, where would you be sitting? No. I am good in my job and I am here to help. To try to win and make a difference on the pitch. I am not here to force people to remember me. The people who remember you, it is because you achieved something. Nothing more. Everyone can do better. In my head, I try to do my maximum, and I do the maximum. Could I do better? Some would say yes. It is debatable. I am confident. Not arrogant, not pretentious. Someone ignorant would call me arrogant. An intelligent person would say confident.The thing that bothers me is that it seems like all the sensitive stuff I write just goes unnoticed . . . the media doesn’t get who I am at all. Or maybe they just can’t accept it. It doesn’t fit into those negative stories they like to write. I’m the kind of guy who is moved by a song like Don McLean’s “Vincent,” that one about Van Gogh. The lyric on that song is so touching. That’s how I want to make my songs feel. Take “Dear Mama”--I aimed that one straight for my homies’ heartstrings. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they, they have collected the trophies. What do they have that you don’t? It is that, exactly that. Aside from that, it depends on your personality, how you rebound, how you fight, how you react… It is not easy… I am simply me. People always try to be perfect. I always say: “Be yourself and that it is what perfect means.”I do not change for success, for nothing, I am continuing to be myself, and whatever happens, be myself. I am just playing my game, I want to win with my team, and the rest comes on its own. I did not choose to become famous, I did not choose… I do not know what you mean by “outside of the football frame.” It is part of the job when you become good. That has consequences. People recognise you and you become famous. Q: Why do you use such derogatory terms to describe women? Doesn’t that play into the hands of critics who say rappers are misogynists?

I Am Not A Gangster is an explosive account of life in the criminal underworld by one of Britain’s most dangerous men, but above all it’s a remarkable tale of redemption with the biggest turnaround in gangland history. Read more Details I think so. For each player it is very hard when you retire. During your career, you have a programme. Everyday, you get up, you eat breakfast, you train, you finish training, and then someone does warm down, they make you lunch, you go home, you recover, you spend time with family or something, and then the day after, it is the same. You hit “repeat.” We are programmed in our heads. And that’s how it has been for 20 or 25 years for me. The day you stop, the first morning, you wake up and you say: “What the hell do I do now?”You are no longer programmed and you enter into a new chapter in your life. And that, that scares me. What am I going to do? But I am not there yet, I don’t want to think about it. When it comes, I will deal with it. Bobbing his head and grinning, the 24-year-old rapper turns up the volume on a funky duet called “2 of America’s Most Wanted,” which he just finished with label mate Snoop Doggy Dogg (a.k.a. Calvin Broadus, whose murder trial is set to begin Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court).

But these people are poorly brought up, ignorant and think that they can still live in the old world. My wife is 100% Swedish. So my children have a contrast, but they are also 100% Swedish. It is wonderful. It is the world now. A world of open-mindedness.
