I Have Such Respect For The Art

I Support The Idea That Artists Have To Make A Stand. I'm With That - You're Putting The Discussion On The Table And You're Letting People Know. You're Being Brave As An Artist And Responsible To The Community.

As An Artist, I Have To Be A Leader Of My Fans, Not Like Follow Them. Because If I Chose To Follow Them, You Know, They Could Do It.

I Think Once You're In The Public Eye, Whether You're A Boss, A Teacher Or Whatever You Do, That You're Automatically In The Position Of Role Model. You Have People Looking Up To You, So Whether You Choose To Accept It Or Not Is A Different Question.

No One Likes To Be Treated Like People In Minority Communities. What It's Saying Is That Because You're Poor, Because You Live In A Neighborhood That Deals With Oppressed Conditions, You Deserve To Be Treated Like A Criminal. In Our Constitution It Says You Have The Right To Live Without Illegal Search And Seizure.

The Problem With Our Role Is Americans Live In A World Of Illusion.
