I wanted to be part of changing the world. I don't want to just stand by and watch it be however it is.

A lot of what we say and do are regurgitated things that have to do with what we think we're supposed to be saying and doing.

What I'm trying to do is make music that people relate to, that talks about ideas that are personal but also make that connection to trying to make revolutionary change, and I don't need to change my music to get to a certain audience.

I've been involved in a lot of different kinds of projects. I've been on straight hip hop tours. I've been on underground rock tours. I've been on multimillion selling rock shows. I've been in the jam band thing, and both commercial and underground hip hop. Very few people listen to one kind of music.

I wanted to be part of changing the world. I don't want to just stand by and watch it be however it is.

When I was five years old, me and my cousin got into a fistfight because when "That's the Way (I Like It)" came on the radio, he said, "That's my song," and I said, "No, that's my song."

Death to the pigs is my basic statement.
