Can I Hit It In

I Have Inherited Two Of The Most Important Brands In Hip-hop, Def Jam And Roc-a-fella. Reid And Universal Music Group Have Given Me The Opportunity To Manage The Companies I Have Contributed To My Whole Career. I Feel This Is A Giant Step For Me And The Entire Artist Community.

All These Ways We Classify Things As R&b And Hip-hop And Rock... It's Bullshit. It's All Music. If You Put Yourself In That Box, Then You Won't Be Able To Hear That It's All Music At Its Soul.

People Who Don't Know You, You Don't Know Their Motives. They Smile At You All Day, "oh, That's Great. You've Done It Again! You're The Greatest!" And That's Not Good For An Artist.

Hip-hop Gave A Generation A Common Ground That Didn't Require Either Race To Lose Anything; Everyone Gained.

I Am Not A Businessman. I Am A Business, Man.
