We get high on all types of drugs when, all you really need is Love

I support the idea that artists have to make a stand. I'm with that - you're putting the discussion on the table and you're letting people know. You're being brave as an artist and responsible to the community.

Hip hop is at its essence a folk music, because it speaks the language that people are still speaking at ground zero, it speaks the language that people speak on the streets.

But it becomes disrespectful when the artist's process is not respected.

When you have a voice and a platform and you know better, it becomes your moral obligation to support that community. And by extension, you're supporting your family.

There just needs to be a gay rapper who's better than everybody. That's when that question will no longer be able to be asked.

I tour whether I have album out or not. I tour more than any other hip-hop artist.
