I hear a lot of cries of socialism and certainly real disguises of "Why should I share my money with these people?" We have to get back to "we." It's important to get back to "we" not just "I."

It's funny, I can see the science in how music is made with other artists, but it's hard for me to dissect my own thing.

Hip-hop is an instant gratification, winners and losers circle, and often those who are losing give up after three or four, five years.

I have a lot of those 'Forrest Gump,' I-was-there moments.

My life's goal is to find a happy medium for sampling to be not only legal but for the right parties to benefit from it. There have to be sampling laws. The survival of hiphop is based on that.

I love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.

It's easy for me to say, "Oh yeah, that's the self-saboteur move that most artists pull whenever they're afraid."
