I have such respect for the art of deejaying. I hesitate to even call myself a deejay.

I don't care if Rick Ross is 40 years old -- he's a misguided 40-year-old person.

Coltrane had a sax, Dale Earnhardt drives a race car and everybody has their tools.

The materialism, the brashness, the misogyny - everything in hip-hop is amplified. Misogyny is a good example of something that is completely amplified in hip-hop. I do think there is more than enough of a balance, though, for fans who are willing to search it out.

There are staples to my show. I have to be conscious about switching things up because I know people who saw me last year will say, 'He did that last time.' But if certain things work, they work.

I have a luxury of people coming to see me whether I play for the crowd or not. I don't take that lightly.

Let me finish my music, and let me present it the way I want to present it. And then share it, put it online, do whatever you want to do after that.
