I feel like I'm living in the dead weeds of hip-hop. I live in the graveyard of what went wrong with hip-hop.

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 experience has to be funnelled through a black experience or a white experience, or it doesn't exist, because that's how we're going to deal with the world.

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 find the new Justin Bieber video more violent and more of an assault to my eyes and senses than what I've made.

If you narrow the playing field, the next generation has less to put out, to eat and regenerate from.

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