KRS-One is one of my favorite rappers ever. I actually don't even know why I have this on my computer, but I do. I really like this album, Criminal Minded.

Sometimes the only way to fix a mistake- is to make it twice.

With rap music, there are billions and billions of samples that are uncleared that people have never been bothered about on an underground level.

The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

The music is in no way politically based - I'm not trying to make a point about sampling. It may bring up issues but I'm not trying to push it on anyone.

I still like weird music but there's such an overabundance that it's hard for me to stay enthusiastic about it.

I'm just making fun music so you can let your guard down and enjoy it, don't worry about what's cool and what's not.

If you focus on all the things that could go wrong, you miss the things that could go right.

I felt that with In A Perfect World I was still kind of finding myself - not just as a musician, but also in love and in life.

I'm thought of as this pissy, complaining, freaked-out schizophrenic who wants to kill himself all the time.

We all make mistakes, but when I made mistakes there was no filter between me and the consumer.

Right after we invaded Iraq, I put a sign on my lawn that said "War is not the answer." That sign was either defaced, ripped up, or stolen every week. I had to replace that sign twelve times.

But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.
