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

I make intelligence cool. I make spirituality cool. If we can make one's devotion to God cool, then I think I did a great thing. I can rest in peace.

The whole world is conscious. It's just that we become conscious at times, and you become conscious when you lose a parent, or just a loved one, period - a wife, a brother, you know. You wake up and say, "Man, it's real. I don't need this pimp gangster stuff anymore, I need something with a little more substance." And there is marketing for that.

It's not that you don't make any money doing conscious rap music. You make a lot of money doing this, but if you're greedy and you're not satisfied with $500,000 a year, and you want $2 million a year, then you will suffer as a conscious rap artist.

Don't you think it's time we thought about the future? Whether our children are gonna be winners or losers

Trust in God, that's where the crown is at. It's not in what you get, it's what happens after that.

Hip-Hop is being spoken through spirituality... Meaning that you'll be able to listen to it spiritually for yourself.
