My advice to young people is ask older people questions and don't be afraid.

I don't think a lot of people have been privy to understanding that there's this talent in hip-hop all over the earth that's just as good. It's just that everything out of the U.S. proclaims to be the best, especially L.A. and New York, being that they're the nerve centers and media capitals of the most predominantly media-emitting country in the world.

I totally hate when somebody takes a classic and desecrates it. I like Jimmy Page and P. Diddy, but what they did to 'Kashmir' was a debacle.

When you travel the world, you have to watch and you have to listen. We're not going to come in to Ireland without an understanding that there's a history that's very sensitive.

I think hip hop should be a living word. And what I mean by the living word is like yo, you gotta have the words that provide life.

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

Truth is truth no matter what I think.
