Hip-hop Went From Selling Crack To Smoking

This Thing Called Rhymin' Is No Different Than Coal Minin'; We Both On Assignment To Unearth The Diamond.

I Began To Fear That Mos Def Was Being Treated As A Product, Not A Person, So I've Been Going By Yasiin Since '99. At First It Was Just For Friends And Family, But Now I'm Declaring It Openly.

I Never Had Any Ambitions Of Being A Movie Star Or Anything Like That, But You Know, This Is Nice.

Hip-hop Is The Last True Folk Art.
