My parents were really strict about me not watching cartoons.

At the end of the day, I don't release any records that I'm not proud to put my name on. I never got to that point.

Hip-hop is so much about character and caricature that people just see you as a character. Very rarely are you flesh and bone to people.

Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.

I don't think crack happened by accident. I'm part conspiracy theorist, because you can't develop something that dangerous and have it not be planned.

When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, "I want that."

I feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic.
