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

Music used to cause revolutions and I'm not seeing much revolution anymore.

A visit to the hood through a record, or through a video, or through a film, is a lot safer than actually visiting the people in real life. It became a business model. It became a revenue engine that, you know, you can get to the hood without ever going there.

If you have no soul you can gut it out. You know, like a marionette, you'll just follow what seems to actually give you whatever you ain't got.

I'm recording freely, and if I make a song, I release it immediately, so I'm more likely to believe in one song at a time as opposed to albums.

Never try to make the same record twice, even when people are screaming for the same sound.

The Illuminati is just the evil, 'nameless' people who are behind governments.
