No matter where you go you are what you are player and you can try to change but that's just the top layer man you was who you was before you got here

Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything; everyone gained.

I spring train in the winter, around early December...

Whoever said that artists shouldn't pay attention to their business was probably someone w/their hand in some artist's pocket.

I don't even like the word politics. It implies something underhanded and I think we need less government.

Which is the other reason hip-hop is controversial: People don't bother trying to get it. The problem isn't in the rap or the rapper or the culture. The problem is that so many people don't even know how to listen to the music.

I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.
