When you are creating something artistically and are speaking to or representing a culture that you know truthfully, you are doing a good job.

I do think that hip-hop has a relationship with comic book culture, and Kung Fu movies too, for that matter.

I am the ambassador to the world. I use music to talk to the world - to try to unite masses. To try to spark conversations. To try and evoke legislation to change that'll really be for the people. That's behind-the-scenes kind of thing for me. And that's what the music is for me.

That's always been the process of our music, in a sense, keeping it simple, not being so heavy that you are beating people over the head, it's just weighted down and it's like, "oohhh I can't relate." People are able to relate because we talked about things that everyone has experienced, it doesn't matter your race or genre. Music was your mainstay. There was something in our element of music that connected.

Hip-hop was the culture that I grew up with; I am part of this culture.

I think that any story that intends on being culturally authentic and true to life experiences will be a great story. Even if that culture isn't a hip-hop-centric one.

There's the shared imagery between hip-hop and comics, with some producers and emcees taking on super hero personas.
