That diversity of production styles and diversity of lyrical structure - I miss that.

The first rap record came out in '79, but hip-hop began in '69.

Hip-hop has always been chronologically misunderstood.

That diversity of production styles and diversity of lyrical structure - I miss that.

I was reckless with records. I would pull them out by my fingertips. I would put my hands all over them.

I used to travel 200 days of the year. I had to calm it down because I have a 17-year-old daughter going on 30, and a 23-year-old son. I want to be around for them.

There's no such thing as a perfect historical film.
