Without The Work, The Magic Won’t Come.

Is To Have Had And Lost/better Than Not Having At All?

I Have Inherited Two Of The Most Important Brands In Hip-hop, Def Jam And Roc-a-fella. Reid And Universal Music Group Have Given Me The Opportunity To Manage The Companies I Have Contributed To My Whole Career. I Feel This Is A Giant Step For Me And The Entire Artist Community.

Artists Can Have Greater Access To Reality; They Can See Patterns And Details And Connections That Other People, Distracted By The Blur Of Life, Might Miss. Just Sharing That Truth Can Be A Very Powerful Thing.

Hip-hop Has Done So Much For Racial Relations, And I Don't Think It's Given The Proper Credit. It Has Changed America Immensely. I'm Going To Make A Very Bold Statement: Hip-hop Has Done More Than Any Leader, Politician, Or Anyone To Improve Race Relations.

You Put The Right Artist On The Right Track In The Studio And Leave The Door Open To Let God In.
