Well, a lot of people within government and big business are nervous of Hip Hop and Hip Hop artists, because they speak their minds. They talk about what they see and what they feel and what they know. They reflect what’s around them.

Afrika BambaataaAfrika Bambaataa When Planet Rock came out, then you had all of the electro funk records.
Afrika BambaataaAfrika Bambaataa When you talk about hip-hop, you’re talking about the whole culture and movement. You have to take the whole culture for what it is.

Afrika BambaataaAfrika Bambaataa I’d like to see people pay attention to the science of hip hop. The knowledge part, the political side of what hip hop could do, or where hip hop is gonna go.

Hip-hop is bigger than the South; hip-hop is bigger than New York.
NasNas 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.
Jay-ZJay-Z Hip-hop has done more for race relations than most cultural icons; and I say save Martin Luther King, because his ‘I Have A Dream’ speech was realized when Obama was elected into office.
Jay-ZJay-Z Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don’t even have to like your music. If you’re big enough, people are drawn to you.
Jay-ZJay-Z Hip-hop is the streets. Hip-hop is a couple of elements that it comes from back in the days… that feel of music with urgency that speaks to you.
NasNas I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop… We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We’re warriors. Soldiers.
NasNas People are intermingling, hanging out, having fun, enjoying the same music. Hip-hop is not just in the Bronx anymore. It’s worldwide. Everywhere you go, people are listening to hip-hop and partying together. Hip-hop has done that.
Jay-ZJay-Z I make hip-hop, but use Doom as a character to convey stories that a normal dude can’t.
