I am one of the founders of Hip-Hop along with my brothers Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash.

How you act, walk, look and talk is all part of Hip Hop culture. And the music is colorless. Hip Hop music is made from Black, brown, yellow, red and white.

We also want to try and slow down all this foolishness that's going on between the East and West. We gotta understand that Hip Hop is now universal. Hip Hop is not East coast or West coast.

You treat people with greatness and greatness will come back to you.

I'm as old as the moon and the stars, and as young as the trees and the lakes. My style comes from looking at what came before me, and from visiting a lot of places.

It ain't no joke when you lose your vinyl.

When you talk about rap you have to understand that rap is part of the Hip-Hop culture.

Actually freestyle really comes from 'Planet Rock'. If you listen to all the freestyle records you'll hear that they are based on 'Planet Rock'. All the Miami Bass records are based upon Planet Rock.

They're keeping friction going between people from the East and the West. One thing we all got in common is your color, which is Black and Latino, which is our family.

I knew that as a DJ from 1970 on up that I would eventually come with this sound. I brought out all these other break beats that you hear so much on a lot of these records.

I like Akon, I like some of Lil Wayne when he uses that funky voice. Anything progressive.

In the end, what we gain is pain!

Don't judge any man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.

I've never really been aware of what is said about me, whether it's positive or negative. I ignore it. I've always had the mind-set: 'No one can challenge me better than myself.'

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.

Before then, Britain was pessimistic and the role of government was largely managing Britain in decline.

Isn't it better to regret things you've done, than regret things you've never even tried?

You know, I'm confident before I go out and play a match that I know, you know, I've put in the work and like I feel confident that I am going to go out there and play well.

It is ridiculous to suppose that the great head of things, whatever it be, pays any regard to human affairs.

It seems, after all that there are no nonpeculiar people.

It is hardly possible to suspect another without having in one's self the seeds of baseness the party is accused of.
