I think most albums deserve a documentary because [an album] is a visual book. You don't have to read up on it because you can listen and watch the whole story. I would love to see lots of albums [become films.]

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

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

Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.

Whose world is this? The world is yours.

I'm inspired by people like Nelson Mandela. Can you imagine - you know how racist America was back then - imagine how racism was in South Africa when he had to stand up and say what he had to say. That's bravery beyond comprehension.

I think hip hop allows us to talk about everything, and Africa is what I choose to talk about now. If people are not talking about Africa, that's them, that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But this is who I am, this is what I have to say, this is what I have to offer.
