I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot: and blames it on acid, prozac, and slipknot.

Hip-hop is about the human condition; it's about people's lives.

I put the truth out there, I put the historical facts into Hip Hop to show us how much history repeats itself and that if we truly want to evolve as a human race, we need to stop sticking each other in ridiculous categories.

When you talk about revolution, it's very easy to romanticize picking up a gun or marching in the street, but I think before we take any of those actions, violence of course being the last one, we first have to have a revolution of the mind.

I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black.

There was a lot of rebelliousness, without focus, in my younger years. And even when people ask me, "Oh you went to prison and you went to college for a couple years?" I'm like "Yeah, I learned more in prison than I think I ever learned in college." That's the sad truth.

I have favourite songs for different things. The diversity of it is the strength.
