I know some very political people who rap, and they say very political things and they'll never get a deal.

I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe.

Dancehall is just like hip-hop in that it doesn't always talk about bling; it talks about conscious issues.

Please remember we all come from the same one and we will all return to that one, so there is no reason for fighting.

Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you dont want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it.

I think kids should have a mentor and a role model, but that they shouldn't take one person's opinion to be what we call final assessment or judgment about how life is supposed to be.

I see dancehall reggae and hip-hop as fused together, When I was a kid, they were the two kinds of music that spoke to me and said 'Move!

I got the right temperature for shelter you from the storm

It's about ladies, as usual. I'm telling the ladies I got the right temperature to keep them warm.

I'm a big hip-hop fan since being a kid. It was the first music that spoke to me and made me feel like, 'Yeah.'

Love is the soul of God

He was a man built to yearn for what he could not have.

A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.

My change may inspire other people.

For me a chameleon is something that disguises itself to look as much like its environment as possible. I always thought I did exactly the opposite of that.

The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command.

Lil Wayne is talented. He seems to be the dominant figure in this particular era of hip-hop. So you know, he's doing his thing.

Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.

I'm lucky; my parents have never said to me, "You're a kid, so you just don't know." They say, "How can we discuss the world and learn from these events together?"

You ask me about the past, you ask me about the future, the only way to be happy is to be living right now.
