People Don't Ask Jay-z To Take His Shirt Off When He Rhymes.

It's Hard For Me To Be Serious. I Can't Really Rub Oil On Me And Go All The Way With It [laughs]. I Hear Some Screams And I Laugh To Myself. I Always Get A Kick Out Of It. I'm Three Feet Tall, Basically.

I'm Always Thinking About Young People First When I'm Writing Music. Whenever I Can Reach That Young Person And Inspire Them To Go After Their Own Dreams, Start Their Own Movement Just Like I Did With Wondaland. Starting Their Own Tribe And Showing People That We Are Not All The Same, We're Not All Monolithic. I Think That's What It's All About For Me.

Thinking About You

Part Of What My Music Represents Is To Stand Up And Be The Voice Of Those Who Feel Like They Are Not Heard And Want To Be Treated With Respect Regardless Of Race, Color, Orientation - Android, Cyborg, Whatever.
