I Think We [with Riccardo Tisci] Share

Hip-hop Is Not Something We Do, It's Something We Live. It's The Way We Dress, The Way We Talk... Everybody Bobbing To The Same Beat. It's A Culture, And You Have To Find Your Own Place In That Culture. Top 10 Or Top 40 Can't Dictate That. They Can Only Dictate What's Marketable.

I'm A Complete Human Being. I'm Very Emotional And Loving. I Feel, I Hurt, I Give, I Take, And Also I Think. I Analyze. I'm A Sociologist, Anthropologist.

Hip-hop Is The People. What The People Are Moving Toward Is What Hip-hop Is. I Think People Are Moving Toward A Freer Way Of Thinking. Openness.
