A Lot Of The Hip Hop Artists

Most Artists Have Contracts Directly With The Record Company, And When They Do Music, All Of Their Music Is Owned By The Record Company. But I Did Mine Through A Production Company.

Artists Don't Always Know. Almost Every Song I Ever Recorded That Was A Hit At The Majors That The Promotional People Picked I Didn't Think It Would Be A Hit. I Was Wrong Every Time!

What We Call Soul Has Been Around A Long Time. It Comes Out Of A Particular Culture That Is African In Origin, But Influenced By 250 Years Of Slavery, As Well As Other Forms Of Racial Oppression.

I Don't Like Rap That You Can't Understand. The Youth Is So Quick And Alert.

A Lot Of The Hip Hop Artists Don't Write Music. They Write Words.
