For me, I walk a line of fame and infamy. I walk the line of celebrity and non-celebrity.

It's a funny line when you're walking - the creativity, the subjectivity versus the objectivity, creativity versus the business, and recognizing that you are in the music business, so there are certain things that you have to acquiesce to on the business side and certain creative decisions that you have to make for the purposes of serving the business side of it.

People see your reviews sometimes, and it's so good that they think I wrote it. And I'm like, "OK, yeah, I wrote it. And I own the company that put it out."

All the big revolutions, whether it's the Industrial Revolution, the Arab Spring, those changes happened by economic and social shifts brought about by the people's voices, and those things weren't voted for. Most of our changes today are brought about through technology, not by voting.

Hip-hop is just something I actually know how to do. But I always had aspirations to participate in other forms of music.

Making your moves, paying your dues, chasing the cool.

The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
