I don't feel comfortable making empty music.

You have to know when to be arrogant. You have to when to be humble. You have to know when to be hard and you have to know when to be soft.

I was always rhyming and doing it for the love before I found out I was gonna have children and when I found out, doing it for the love wasn't enough.

I not only wanted to showcase lyrical skills but also continue to drop knowledge on the hiphop community. I'm looking to elevate through my music, and through my music I educate.

Woman are complex creatures.

Ain't nobody making music to not be heard and the easiest way to be heard is to be on the radio, but you should never compromise who you are, your values or your morals.

I wouldn't agree there's a lot of emptiness in hip-hop, 'cause The Roots and Blackalicious put out great records last year.

Once you're signed to a label you compromise.

And you know, art as commerce, doesn't really make too much sense, they don't go together.

War is not civilized.

So I just had to step up how I was doing it and the moment that I stepped up and the moment I focused all my energy on that is when things started to happen. So there's a direct relationship between my inspiration and my output.

But there's so many things in life like women, like children, like God and family that transcends the world of hip-hop.

This is just something I wanted to do; I'm from New York City, and New York City underground culture is mixtapes. It's street-style mixtape.

We're in an illusion about what our role is in world politics and foreign affairs, and our policies are killing and destroying and doing a lot of things that we are not aware of.

I mean, I do this to get heard.

So I think hip-hop is moving and is going to continue to move in the direction of rappers just being honest with themselves, whether you're talking about Common and Mos Def or Nas and 50 cent.

Let me finish my music, and let me present it the way I want to present it. And then share it, put it online, do whatever you want to do after that.

Music is not an exact science so depending on the time and the mode and the energy when we do it that will determine what happens with it.

I like the last Scarface album a lot.

Coltrane had a sax, Dale Earnhardt drives a race car and everybody has their tools.
