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

I'd rather have a hundred thousand or a million people saying I'm nuts and I'm crazy for my musical choices and what I've said lyrically, than a million people all raising their hand on the first day.

We didn't invent music, so it's been here for a reason, and it has powers for a reason. So we should pay attention to it, because we might not know the clear answers but we should at least acknowledge that it is something there. To not be playin around with it.

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

If I can't change the people around me, I change the people around me.

Hip-hop is a part of rock & roll because it comes from DJ culture. DJ culture is the embodiment of all genres and all recorded music, if you actually pay attention to it.

Public Enemy is the security of the hip-hop party.
