I Gotta Be Dope First. I Gotta

I'm Spinning Records And I Look Across The Restaurant And I See Somebody Who Looks Asian. And I'm Like, "yo, That Looks Like Yoko Ono." I'm Like, Oh, I Can Just Meet - That's Going To Be Great. Then I Look Carefully And I'm Like, "that's Not Yoko Ono, That's Bruno Mars." And It Was Bruno Mars. That Just Happened Recently. I Was Bugging Out. Because That Was Totally Not Yoko Ono At All.

People Consider Black Star A Great Album, And I Think It's A Classic Album. But The Fact Is, Both Me And Mos Def Have Made Better Albums Since Black Star.

My Fans Like To Be Romantic. I Feel Like I'm Creating At Least At The Same Level Or Even A Higher Level Of Creativity Than I Was At Twenty-one. I've Gotten Better As An Artist.

Unfortunately Hip-hop Is So Competitive That In Order For Fringe Groups To Get In, You Gotta Be Better Than Whoever's The Best. So Before Eminem, The Idea That There Would Be A White Rapper That Anybody Would Really Check For Was Fantastic Or Amazing Or Impossible.

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.
