I Talk About Life, And I Make

Anything That's Really Good, Everybody Wants To Put Their Hands On. The Multimedia Puts Their Hands On It And Everything Happens That Makes It Global. Then People Forget The Roots Of It And People Forget Why They Care About It, And Then It Gets Torn Apart And Turns So Commercial That You Don't Even Know What The Essence Of This Art Form Is Even About.

When I Made Illmatic, I Was Trying To Make The Perfect Album. It Comes From The Days Of Wild Style. I Was Trying To Make You Experience My Life. I Wanted You To Look At Hip-hop Differently. I Wanted You To Feel That Hip-hop Was Changing And Becoming Something More Real.

I Broke Into Shakespeare's Tomb And Stole His Remains, Grinded The Bones, Smoked It, Then Got In The Game

There's Not One Person In The World That's Not A Living, Walking Contradiction.

I Want Each Album To Say Something Different And Be Accepted Better Than The Last One But I Don't Have Any Point To Outdo Any Particular Album Of Mine.
