My Rhymes Are Like Shot Clocks, Interstate

The Beautiful Thing About Hip-hop Is It's Like An Audio Collage. You Can Take Any Form Of Music And Do It In A Hip-hop Way And It'll Be A Hip-hop Song. That's The Only Music You Can Do That With.

I Feel Like Your City - With Hip Hop In Particular, Because We're Always Beating Our Chest And Shouting Where We're From - Your City Is Just As Influential As Your Parents. Even The Grimy, Hardcore Gangster Rap From New York - Krs-one And Wu Tang, The Stuff Acknowledges It.

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

Artists Look At The Environment, And The Best Artists Correctly Diagnose The Problem. I'm Not Saying Artists Can't Be Leaders, But That's Not The Job Of Art, To Lead. Bob Marley, Nina Simone, Harry Belafonte - There Are Artists All Through History Who Have Become Leaders, But That Was Already In Them, Nothing To Do With Their Art.

I Was Always Rhyming And Doing It For The Love Before I Found Out I Was Gonna Have Children And When I Found Out, Doing It For The Love Wasn't Enough.
