There's a point where a cop pulls you out of that car and starts abusing you or beating on you and at that moment he is no longer within the law.

If you're really a rapper, you can't stop rapping.

If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.

I've lectured at Stanford, Princeton & Harvard to name a few... I just might be smarter than YOU

One of the things about powerful people is they have the ability to make it look easy.

It's like a paradox. For one side, being popularized rap got better and the other side of it got worse. It's very pop and it's very different now. When you make it as pop and as soft as it is, it lacks its integrity. It lacks its accountability. It lacks a lot of other things that came from that dangerous time in hip hop.
