NASWith age comes common sense and wisdom.
NASI like the way hip-hop is now. It’s grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.
NASYou know, rap is sort of like a form of talking, right? So it’s like you can hear, you know, the slaves doing it.
NASLife Is Good’ represents the most beautiful, dramatic and heavy moments in my life.
NASMy earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.
NASEven if you make mistakes, I go back to those things, my not-so-great moments because those are my truest moments; those are my human moments. I’m not even mad at the things I said that were a little dicey.
NASWhenever I received too much praise, it just didn’t feel right to me – ever.
NASCalling Michelle ‘Obama Barack’s baby mama?’ Tell me, is that acceptable? But the Obamas aren’t the only targets. Fox’s pattern of race-baiting and fear-mongering regularly focuses on black leaders, black institutions and ordinary black people.
NASI see N.Y. hip-hop like I see N.Y. streets. N.Y. streets are grimy; it’s a grind. N.Y. rappers are hustlers – whatever sound is in, we can adapt to that; there’s nothing wrong with that.
NASI don’t know who I will collaborate with, but there’s a great chance of something happening.
NASI don’t go out unless I’m working. My quality time is when I’m doing nothing.
NASNo one’s promised anything. You could have the biggest record on radio and sell no records.
NASWorking with great people makes you great; you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.
NASI want to sound like an instrument. I want my voice and my words to marry the beat.
NASYou don’t know anything about respect; you don’t know anything about being faithful and loyal to your girlfriend.
NASI want to have fun. It’s a beautiful life. You learn, you win, you lose, but you get up.
