If it's just politics that's running music, f - k that. I'm out of here! I can't think of anything more boring.

I am the bridge between the East and the West. I don't want to abandon one for the other.

I named my first album after my dad because I wanted to find him. My second album was named after my mom because I felt like I learned all my creative talents I learned from her.

If you're talking about coexisting and tolerance then you have to live by example, and you can't have shiny people all the time everywhere, which is what breeds that sort of thinking - this is better than this, that is better than that.

I feel like I can't really have a comment.

I think people were genuinely addicted to hip hop in the 90s, addicted to the idea of empowerment. I think it came from [the fact that] the rappers in the 90s, their parents coming from the 70s, had such a rich variety of records to sample.

My statements aren't incomplete, they're just in-progress. It's a debate and a discussion.
