To me, it's an honour to be accepted as a hip hop artist, it gives me a lot of opportunity to express myself.

I love PBS! I grew up on it. If I had to say which channels were good, I'd say, you got your PBS, your History Channel, your Discovery.

Divorce can be crazy. Man, if you're happy... Love is a beast, man. Hold on. Be prepared for any way it may go, and be honest.

No idea is original, there's nothing new under the sun, it's never what you do, but how it's done

America is a melting pot for all different groups of people, historically. And it's rare that the story of all of these people will be told in the history books. So I always felt I had to find out my history for myself and research my roots.

I push my own limits every day, every moment - in the studio, on the stage and beyond so it's truly a genuine fit.

If I made an album just to sell you a story about how I'm the man, it really doesn't show any human side to me. It's good to talk about what's real and what's relevant.
