When You First Start Off,

It's A Funny Word, Persistence. It Means Not Giving Up, But It Also Means Just Passing On Through Time.

I Feel Like The Downfall Of Any Person Is The Second An Artist Starts Celebrating Their Work Themselves, That Becomes Problematic. And You Know, I Don't Sit There, I Don't Bask In The Awards I've Won, You Know, Read My Bank Statements, I Refuse. To Me, That's How You Start Losing The Hunger. So For Me Personally, I Just Don't Celebrate It. I'm Happy, Right Now.

I Hear A Lot Of Cries Of Socialism And Certainly Real Disguises Of "why Should I Share My Money With These People?" We Have To Get Back To "we." It's Important To Get Back To "we" Not Just "i."

I Don't Think Crack Happened By Accident. I'm Part Conspiracy Theorist, Because You Can't Develop Something That Dangerous And Have It Not Be Planned.

Hip-hop Is Such A Disposable Art Form From A Business Standpoint. It Never Treats Its Artists As Art; It Never Treats Its Product As Art.
