As the times are changing, you don't hear as many sample issues with rap artists. Part of that has to do with production styles these days, but the nature of copyright is also changing as the internet becomes more of a giant.

KRS-One is one of my favorite rappers ever. I actually don't even know why I have this on my computer, but I do. I really like this album, Criminal Minded.

When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

I feel like all the artists that I really love, they've had a strong contingent of people who really hate their work as well.

In 1990 if you heard a song on the radio and you really wanted to hear it again you'd have to buy it on tape or CD. Hearing music doesn't hold that kind of value anymore because anyone can hear it. It's going to become even easier.

A lot of times people have issues with me because they don't understand where I'm coming from and haven't seen the years and years of hard work and shows I've played.

My music should fall under fair use because it's transformative, it's becoming its own entity, and it's not negatively impacting anyone's sales.
