It's not the rules everywhere, you know? That's not the rules everywhere - that things have to be dumbed down in order to become massively popular. And that hasn't always been the rule, even in America.

Some rather seek up high Than dig and grind that inner truth

Hip-hop is still cool at a party. But to me, hip-hop has never been strictly a party it is also there to elevate consciousness.

A lie preserved in stained glass doesn't make it more true.

What I'm aiming to do within hip-hop is to point out that the music itself is powerful it reaches so many people.

I have a very family-like connection to hip-hop, which is why it frustrates me so much.

I think that heartbreak is a good thing.

Honestly, I don't always want to get up in the mornings, but I do anyway.

If we're gonna progress as a people we are going to realise that, as one of my favourite poets says, the other is a lie. There are no other people. Race is a social construct.

I've never believed it's really so important that you conform to the ways of the system in order to beat the system. I think that the system follows a great deal.
