I'm A Hustler, Baby; I Sell Water

I'm Hungry For Knowledge. The Whole Thing Is To Learn Every Day, To Get Brighter And Brighter. That's What This World Is About. You Look At Someone Like Gandhi, And He Glowed. Martin Luther King Glowed. Muhammad Ali Glows. I Think That's From Being Bright All The Time, And Trying To Be Brighter.

When I Listen To Great Music, The First Thing I Wonder Is What People Were Saying When This Came Out Of The Speakers In The Studio. I Want To Know What Happened When They Played It And Said, "this Is The One!"

You Could Name Practically Any Problem In The Hood And There'd Be A Rap Song For You.

For Me, The Challenge Is Just Making Great Albums, Because Talent - And Writing In General - Is Not Tangible. There's No Expiration Date On It. At The Same Time, You Might Wake Up Tomorrow And Be Unable To Write Music.

I Think The Consumption Of Music Is At An All-time High. But I Think The Ways That Record Companies Are Trying To Monetize It Is Just All Over The Place. At The End Of The Day, Music Is In The Clouds. Before, You Could Hold It, Look At It, Turn It Around. Now, It's Just In The Air.
