You know what I had a problem with? The war - the war in Afghanistan.

I do this for the sake of myself. It's a selfish process. I don't really have any expectations from anyone for your comments or your reviews or your previews.

I trust people to be human. Sometimes you do things that make amazing amounts of sense; sometimes you do things that don't make any sense whatsoever.

You know, my goal, once I leave the music business, is like, 'Man, Lupe didn't lead us astray.' It comes directly from Islam: leading people astray is the worst thing you could do. Especially in perpetuity; like, your music continues to go on and live without you. That risk is too great for me; I'm gonna keep it positive.

I went from MC to being MS, this microphone controller is the motivational speaker.

It's a massive undertaking putting an album together... It's not light weight at all.

I'm a big fan of science fiction, animation, and things of that nature. Other worlds and that type of stuff.
