There's nothing worse than a good video and good song, and you see a band and hate them because they can't perform. That's wack.
Chuck DI'm most passionate about, you know, making everybody understand that we should all have equal access on this earth.
Chuck DMy daughter's 19. I'm not asking her to develop as an artist. I'm just asking her to develop as a full person, human being.
Chuck DYou're always looking for somebody to love you, be accepted, and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much. Number one: They're trying to please whoever signed them to a contract. Number two: They're trying to appease a gigantic audience and they get this false magnification of love. I came from a thing which nowadays would be the exception to the rule. I came from a mother and father who always made me secure in my beliefs, and that's where the love came from. Which made me look at everything else as procedure.
Chuck DNo matter what's in your head, you go up into any hospital, up to a terminal ward and it'll smack you right back into reality that, "Hey man, whatever you're dealing with, if it's heavy on your heart and head, you're gonna have to let that go, because there, some people are dealing with unavoidable situations that they can't let go." And then they eventually let those go, so, I mean, that's helpful.
