The people in Cuba, they know what I stand for, and there's a lot of people in Cuba that stand for the same. But they can't say it.

You cant get much whiter than me.

Pretty soon I think you'll have Republicans, Democrats and Hip Hop as a party.

Since I've been in this industry, it's been a constant fight; "Oh, he's white, he's Cuban." "He's tryin' to do hip-hop and he's too Spanish, he's too English."You fight all these stereotypes through all these boundaries, and you find a way to tap-dance through all these different genres and cultures through music - that's what Rebelution is.

If you continue to work hard, let that be the fuel to your fire.

One thing that's never gonna go, you know, go sour is good music.

As far as my single selections, over the years it's been a very essential part of my survival tactic, but I have no problem being able to jump on records with whoever people think is the rawest rapper in the game or number one or King or whatever they wanna name themselves, to be honest with you. It doesn't affect me, 'cause that's what I come from; I'm comfortable in that zone. But I don't wanna make hood music, I don't wanna make street music, I want to make world music, global music, international music.
