Hip-hop is bigger than the South, hip-hop is bigger than New York.

You are who you associate with. Look around at your five closest friends and that's who you are. If you don't want to be that person, you know what you gotta do.

I guess entertainment means blatantly lyin'

Hip-hop is such an amazing thing that kids still want to do it. They're not saying, "Ugh, that's the old people's music." No, they're younger than they've ever been that want to get into hip-hop music.

Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.

Just do as much as you can.

I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.
