I appreciate the additional additives and preservatives that help sell a project, but I'm sticking to what works best for me. I gotta sell the album live on stage and make people believe in the songs.

My thinking is that if we're going to take from a culture, let's take from a culture that has exemplified success for thousands of years.

I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used to feel. I wanted something as good as the stuff put out by the Bomb Squad, or Dr. Dre and his production crew, or 'A Tribe Called Quest.' I miss albums like those.

It's almost not safe to be an artist, the way everybody is randomly picking people to feud with.

You're gonna notice me when I come in. I'm gonna make a statement without opening my mouth, and when I leave, you're gonna remember that.

I have no trouble being a good dude because that's what I am.
