Now, with the Internet, you're either five years ahead or you're five years behind, and the music game is catchin' up right now.

My whole thing is just being a part of good music.

I think that the reason my records are able to live forever in the club is because I actually like to be in the club. I don't go to the club to do VIP or get bottles or nothin' - I go to the club, I enjoy the people, I see what the people are vibin' off, and I see what makes me go crazy in the club also, and that has a lot of influence on what I bring to the table when I'm thinking of making a big club record.

I don't wanna make hood music, I don't wanna make street music, I want to make world music, global music, international music.

I'm so passionate about making good music.

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.

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