Honestly, I'm Not Listening To Much Of

I See These Other Actors Come Up With This Tough-guy Personas And Now When They're On Talk Shows They're All... But That's Not Really The Way They Are. I Probably Could Have Used A Little Bit Of That. At One Point I Was Labeled "the King Of Dumb White Guys." I Was Offended By That When I Was Younger, But I Understand What That's From, So I Was Like, "only A Genius Can Play A Fool." But I'm Very Aware Of That, And I'll Play Into It And Use It However I Need To Use It.

Like Any Family, Like Any Group - The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Epmd, Public Enemy - They've Had Bumps In The Road. I Just Think That Because A Tribe Called Quest Is So Precious To Fans, They Were Concerned About Unveiling Some Of Those Things.

My Favorite Part Is Just Being Able To Say And Do Things That You Can't Do In Real Life, And Behaving In A Way That's Just Not Really Acceptable, In The Real World.

Socially, Hip-hop Has Done More For Racial Camaraderie In This Country Than Any One Thing. 'cause Guys Like Me, My Kids - Everyone Under 45 Either Grew Up Loving Hip-hop Or Hating Hip-hop, But Everyone Under 45 Grew Up Very Aware Of Hip-hop. So When You're A White Kid And You're Listening To This Music And You're Being Exposed To It Every Day On Mtv, Black People Become Less Frightening. This Is Just A Reality. What Hip-hop Has Done Bringing People Together Is Enormous.

Being No. 1. It's Talked About All Of The Time In Hip-hop. 'i'm Still No. 1! I'm The Best! I'm The Greatest Of All Time!' It's The Same Mentality In Sports.
