For Anyone That's Ever Had

To Be Hip-hop Is Much More Than Just Rapping In The Production. It Is More In The Attitude.

Music Has The Power To Stop Time. But Music Also Keeps Time.

What I'm Slowly Realizing Is That I Believe That Most Of Us Felt That We Could Relax A Little Bit After November 2, 2008, Because Of The Progress And The Spirit That It Took To Get Barack Obama In The White House. And What We Didn't Realize, Is That Was Really The Beginning. That Was Really The Beginning Of The Struggle And Not The End Of A Struggle, To Come From Colonial Times Through Slavery, Through The Jim Crowe Laws, Through The Civil Rights Period To The White House As, Like A Point A/point B Journey. Point B Of Course Being The End.

I Do Count On A Changing Of Tides. All Too Often, What Could Be A Critics' Darling Today Becomes Tomorrow's Target. I Don't Want To Be Too Blasé About It.

During The 2008 Election, I Made Clear To The Obama Campaign That I Don't Think It's Wise For Me To Force My Personal Political Agenda On Anyone.
