Art can play a major role. I look at art as an alternative source of energy, the same way we might look at wind or solar or lithium batteries.

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

The only reason I've been so critical of hip-hop is because I've always been aware of the effect that it has, and the reflection that it gives of the African-American community.
