Today, a young person that doesn't know themselves will totally be sold some other situation. Let's do your avatar. You know? And young people are going out, spending what little they have to try to buy themselves when they don't have themselves, or they feel like they don't have themselves. To me, that's like a damn pimp tragedy.

Rappers should just be able to perform what they create and satisfy the people that like and love them.

I spread the message of hope and of unity. That's what gets me up in the morning. I can tell you what is wrong, but I can't tell you how to fix it. I'm a raptivist, not a politician. I deal in hope.

I'm a multi-tasker. I was down with that stuff before they invented the term.

I don't believe that everybody is out of some kind of cookie cutter, so the thing that protects me is always being level with myself, even to myself.

My thing is, the older you get you gotta stand up for what you believe in, and keep bashin' away.

Try to master technology instead of it mastering you.
