Act Smarter Than You Are And Always

I Have A Very Broad Demographic, From The 8-year-old Who Knows Every Word To 'ice Ice Baby' And The College Kid Who Grew Up On 'ninja Rap' To The Soccer Mom And Grandparent.

This Was Totally Influenced By Me And The Direction That I Am Writing About And The Stuff That I Am Writing About. There Is Just No Way That You Can Be As Intense As What I Have Been Through In My Life Over A Drum Beat Machine, Sample, Or Loop; It's Just Not Going To Happen.

To Be Truthful, Jay-z Wouldn't Have A Quarter Of The Records Sold Today If It Wasn't For The White People Buying His Records.

What Makes Critics Dictate What Is Cool And What Is Not. What Gives Them The Pass To Say That Their Opinion On Music Or Movies Or Anything Is What Should Be Cool And What Shouldn't. I Don't Think It Should Be Up To One Person.
