Nike is the uniform for kids all over the world, and African design has been killed by Nike. Africans no longer want to wear their own designs.

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

What's wrong with hip-hop [is that] it became so one-dimensional; it became like a businessman thing. It's run out of creativity. It went so far off about making money that now everyone can do it.

Just make music; don't talk about politics.

I never pigeonholed myself - the only reason you'd want to pigeonhole is to monetize your business and, as a person, I don't see the importance of doing that. My music took off above the rest of those things: You can just make a song, put it on a CD, and get it out to all these people.

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.
