I Always Say That You Define What

Chief Keef Scares Me... Not Him Specifically, But Just The Culture That He Represents.

My Problem Is I’m Peaceful, And I Believe In The People.

For Me, I Never Wore My Religion On My Sleeve, You Know What I'm Saying? I Never Put Myself Out There As Lupe Fiasco, He's Muslim, He's From Chicago, He Likes To Ride A Skateboard.

It Definitely Wasn't Like, 'hey, I'm Going To Steal That, And Nobody's Going To Know.' The Original 't.r.o.y.' Came Out In 1992, And It Was Like A 20th Anniversary Kind Of Thing. All Of Those Intentions Were There For It To Be Resurrecting A Classic For A New Generation. I Tried To Honor It.

I Don't Really Get The Same Kinda Romance That I Would Get From, Like, Jazz. And Even To A Lesser Extent To Rock 'n Roll. Rock 'n Roll Has A Romance To It - How Can I Put It? A Very Vulgar Romance, But Still A Romance; Whereas Hip Hop Has More Facade.
