You can rebel against everything adults say. When I want to find out what the new music is, I find out what parents hate.

When I hear music that parents hate, or older musicians hate, I know that's the new music. When I hear older people saying, 'I hate Rap or Techno' I rush to it.

Funk 'em, just to see the look on their face.

My ability has always been to walk out on the stage and see the audience and figure out what they wanna hear.

Just gimme some stage. I'll make my own way once I get there.

Style is whatever you want to do, if you can do it with confidence.

Hip-hop is getting to the point now where they are going to start sounding like Al Jarreau or Bobby McFerrin or some of the other poets. Some of the better rappers can rap real fast without even melodies. It'll get to that same point.
