What I feel with the best of hip-hop music and with the best of what has been produced by hip-hop culture is that it's going to be timeless, and it's going to last.
My alter ego does not look in too great a mood today.
While we do not need art to live, I couldn't imagine a life without it.
I think that creative people, wherever they are, in any field, take inspiration wherever they can find it.
There has always been a correlation between money and art.
In the early '80s, I was blown away when I began to hear some of the earliest hip-hop songs, and I'm fascinated by all the permutations the genre has gone through.
