Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

You've got to validate every day. There are those who just put a stamp on it and say, This is gonna be a good day and I'm not gonna let anything else make it a bad day.

I'm a passionate person. I'm a lot of things, like most people are. Most people are dynamic. The focus is not on me though, I'm a screen. The aim is to always keep myself in the position where the screen is clear.

Fear not of men because men must die. Mind over matter and soul before flesh.

Breathe in...inhale vapors from bright stars that shine, Breathe out...weed smoke retrace the skyline.

The moment you start thinking it's hopeless, then it is. [But], if you think it's gonna get better, it really does. Life is a test.

If it's just fame for the sake of being famous, no one even cares about you - and you don't even care about yourself because you're like, This is so ridiculous.
Mos Def
Image
That's what I've been trying to strive for - to draw a clear picture, to open up a new dimension.

I tell people all the time, I've always loved music and I love the language, which is a huge reason why I'm part of theater. But, I didn't wanna do all of this. I would've been satisfied to do it, like, on the weekends among friends, and to have a regular job.
