As An Artist, I Have To Be

If You Look At My Career, Doing Albums With Norah Jones, Justin Timberlake, Gucci Mane And Lil Wayne Or Krs-one And Jean Grae, I Can't Be Pigeonholed.

You See Somebody Rapping And You're Like, "nah, My Cousin Can Do That." You're Spoiled By The Experience. Overseas, It's Still Something That People Can Appreciate.

I Feel Like People Mislead Themselves When They Tell Themselves They're Into Me Because Of The Lyrics. From My Vantage Point, People Aren't Into Me Because Of The Content, Because Of The Lyrics. Because There's A Million Of Rappers Who Have Great Content.

Just Because Someone Has Great Content Doesn't Mean You Like Them As A Rapper.

What Else Is Stop And Frisk? These Neighborhoods Are Unsafe Not Because There's Not Enough Cops Illegally Frisking People. They're Not Safe Because Of Economic Conditions. They're Not Safe Because Of All Types Of Things In The Government That People Like Mike Bloomberg And Ray Kelly Should Be Looking To Fix Instead Of Randomly Searching Kids In The Hood. If You Go To A College Campus And You Do Stop And Frisk, You're Going To Find A Lot Of Drugs There, Too.
