The jazz I love is sweet and pure with raw elements, which is exactly what the good hip-hop is doing now.

You've got a degree in philosophy; so you think you're cleverer than me. But I'm not just some drama queen. Cause it's where you're at, not where you've been.

I'm not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I'm not saying, 'I'm sooo not famous,' I'm trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

I'm not a natural born performer.
