There's no major label in the world that would have let me make video game music, then conscious hip hop. They want you to find your audience, your lane, and stay in it until it ends. I can't do that.

I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy, but the game has changed.

These kids know so much these days, and are bigger, stronger and quicker mentally. We just have to find out how to use it for good and not evil.

I was taught from a young age that as a teacher, especially a male, you are to never be alone with a female, or even a male student.

Never have one kid in the room with you, and avoid situations that would look suspect to a passerby.

Kids are great in that they keep you on your toes. They're like a puzzle... in a blender, haha. You have to take the pieces out and try to put it together on the fly.

Anytime you have to sacrifice your art, or integrity, it's a bad deal, no matter what they're offering.
