You have to understand the vehicle, the form that allows you to do what you do, and why that is.

The stuff I'm working on is quite dense. I'm seeing every four bars as a scene in a film.

You've rarely got an artist that's not being chauffeured into the business by some huge-ass names.

It mattered what someone did to allow you to have the forum to do what you're doing.

Man, I would demand that artist come to the table with better variety. I would demand that musicians know music history, not just Hip-Hop, so that we could understand. The better your 'listening ear' is, the better your music will be.

The battle thing is very important in hip-hop, but at the same time, I want to sit down and have a beer and listen to Rakim.

New York City gritty committee pity the fool that act shitty in the midst of the calm, the witty.
