Hip-hop is bigger than the South; hip-hop is bigger than New York.
I like the way hip-hop is now. It's grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.
Hip-hop ain't died because of the South, that's retarded.
It's not just hip-hop that's dead. Mostly every form of American music is dead. It's been dead. R&B isn't really good.
I expect the hip-hop audience to be avant garde. I want them to be where I'm at or beyond where I'm at.
