But he derives most of his internal energy from being a married father of six; his kids range from age 9 to 16, and he describes each as a future model, athlete or actor. When he's on the road he uses Skype to keep in touch with what he calls the "Kurupt Dynasty." "They changed and saved my life, for real," he says of his family. (This seems not to be exaggeration, considering he was not far from the crossfire that took 2Pac and Biggie.)
