It was my first major senior competition and to go out there in front of such a huge crowd was terrifying at the time, but I've had so many senior internationals since then, I feel that this experience has given me the confidence to give it the best shot that I can.” GivingFeelsFirstsI CanAgeGamesGivenFrontsHugeMajorsShotsCompetitionCrowdsSeniorCompetingCommonwealthWalesMelbourneBest ShotCommonwealth Games Author:Jazmin Carlin

“I understand that in the industry, a lot of it isn't real. Which is a difficult thing. Where I come from a lot of people are straightforward and I've had to learn how to not say exactly what I feel. Sometimes it gets frustrating being a person who says what he feels and what his heart is telling him. Every once in a while I fall into letting the industry get the best of me and not just saying exactly what I feel.” PeopleFeelsHeartPersonsRealSometimesFallDifficultIndustryFrustratingDifficult ThingsStraightforwardJust SayingBest Of Me Author:Wale
“Sometimes I'm just a little bit too honest. There was some things that were going on behind the scenes that I didn't like because it's not what hip-hop is about. Hip-hop is about honesty and it's about being real to the people, and I kinda felt like there's some instances where some artists aren't 100% honest with the people. Their integrity is lacking sometimes.
