It's just hypocrisy on hip-hop's part to cry racial profiling when your race is on TV acting like fools.

Hip is the knowledge and Hop is the movement.

If Hip Hop has the ability to corrupt young minds, it also has the ability to Uplift them.

Ignorance is a poison and knowledge will nourish.

You can't expect to be on MTV and critique George Bush. You can't expect to be on BET or the cover of 'The Source' advocating Jesus Christ or Buddha or Hindu Krishna or Moses. As a conscious rap artist, you have to play in the arena that you're supposed to be in. What is that arena? That arena is the college market. The conscious rap artist woos the college market, even though the college market is the wildest, most sexed-out, drug-driven market in the country, possibly the world.

You sleep with a man, that's your husband. So make sure before you lay down, you love him.

Hip-hoppers are not interpreting what hip-hop is, and when we do interpret it, we interpret it as something immature, unorganized, and outlaw.
