Don't look down, it's an impossible view; Fly like an eagle whatever you do.

I have no confidence issues with the impact or the quality of the music. No one in hip-hop, before this point and to this point, with all due respect, has done this.

Don't look down, it's an impossible view; Fly like an eagle whatever you do.

I don't wanna get into that space where a lot of guys now, their solo album is like eight or 10 songs with other people, you don't get an idea of who this guy is. I just wasn't interested in that.

I don't care about what brand you are, I'm concerned what type of man you are, what your principles and standards are.

I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture.

I think hip-hop is actually one of the most challenging things that's happened in music in a long time. The people who are in charge of what people see or hear are afraid. What you hear on top 40 or what you see on BET or MTV is not a fair representation of what is really going on...
