I'm trying to get low. People's personalities can get in the way of their own work.
I'm an independent thinker. And I'm not the poster child for any movement. I'm trying to support whatever's right no matter where it is.
And remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone.
In the early '90s, when I really started to find my voice, I was reading a lot of books, and I was moved by the writers, like Chinua Achebe, and I wanted to be able to write rhymes that were as potent as what I was reading.
It wouldn't be fair to cast aspersions on an entire cultural movement based on the actions of a few. To quote my grandfather, 'One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.'
Reckless capitalism kills black people.
I get reminded a lot of the time that my life is a little bit different, but I'm just trying to keep it as regular as possible because I like it that way.
You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.
To me, playing an instrument and singing, all of these different things are just as natural to me as rhyming.
I've always loved rhyming. I love language.
I know what it feels like to have the door slammed firmly in my face, so I'm cool with that.
If Islam's sole interest is the welfare of mankind, then Islam is the strongest advocate of human rights anywhere on Earth.
I don't wanna get into that space where a lot of guys now, their solo album is like eight or 10 songs with other people, you don't get an idea of who this guy is. I just wasn't interested in that.
My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.
