I grew up as a sports fan, and I know that a hall of fame is very different than an award for being the best of the year. It's a nod to the longevity of our accomplishment.

I'm most passionate about, you know, making everybody understand that we should all have equal access on this earth.

I don't have any exteriors that would actually put me into some kind of different air that would actually intimidate somebody to stay away from me.

I think the problem for the future generations is a lot of people ain't takin' the time to look for galvanizing artists and give them their voice, so therefore for their voice to be heard, they gotta bang more pots on the ceiling, so to speak; they gotta do crazy things just to get recognized. I just feel that whenever you don't give a generation some kind of voice, then expect side effects.

I like to drive and I like to travel. When I drive on the open road, it's like sometimes the car turns into a pen and the road is a piece of paper.

I think the Internet was the saving grace for Public Enemy. Before that, travelling the world saved Public Enemy.

People aren't going to support an artist just because they have an audio file. They have to feel a real connection.
