I don't really see a difference in independent and major labels. To me, it's pretty much the same. There used to be a difference between indies and major labels, but I don't think there is anymore.

We know that those huge U.S. brands do have political sway.

There has been an effect of business rap on the output of today's rap music. But I don't think that's the modern day rapper's fault.

I dont like the idea of spirituality done the way its done. The only way I could understand it was through creativity, not by going to an Ashram, or finding a guru or joining a temple. I made work out of it.

I hate the idea of street art. With music, I just needed my brain and my voice, which didn't cost anything.

That divide between the rich and poor is so crazy, because even white kids are suffering now.

I'd be very controversial if I said why, and I don't do controversial anymore. That's too passé. So last year. Being controversial is boring now.
