Becoming a father made me a lot more sentimental than I ever was before. I never cried at movies before I became a parent. I feel music more intensely. I think of my political ideas as ideas about how I want to interact with other human beings as opposed to abstract theories about how the world should be.

I was an avowed professional revolutionary by the time I was 15.

Death to the pigs is my basic statement.

Rappers are usually rapping about knowledge they think people need to get by in the world. If there's no movement that gives the idea that the knowledge people need is how to take over the system, what they see is that people need to know how to hustle; people need to know how to survive.

I wanted to write a song about sexism, but I didn't want to do it in a mechanical way and be like, "Don't be sexist!" because that's not how I talk in regular life.

I am a person who always feels like I am not doing the right thing because there's always so many things that need to get done.

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.
