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.

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

Besides, isn't it more exciting when you don't have permission?

When I came to England in '86, my first week of school was terrible because I would put my hand up to answer things, and no one would choose me because they couldn't say my name.

If right now, culture's so divisive, it just leaves these millions of people like me out.

That's what I miss, being a real human.
