It's Not Just Hip-hop That's

I Think Hip-hop Could Help Rebuild America, Once Hip-hoppers Own Hip-hop... We Are Our Own Politicians, Our Own Government, We Have Something To Say. We're Warriors. Soldiers.

When I Made Illmatic, I Was Trying To Make The Perfect Album. It Comes From The Days Of Wild Style. I Was Trying To Make You Experience My Life. I Wanted You To Look At Hip-hop Differently. I Wanted You To Feel That Hip-hop Was Changing And Becoming Something More Real.

Some Seek Fame Cause They Need Validation, Some Say Hating Is Confused Admiration.

Anybody Can Be A Rapper, But Not Anybody Can Be A Classical Artist.

Hip-hop Ain't Died Because Of The South, That's Retarded.
