Cough Up A Lung Where I'm From

Which Is The Other Reason Hip-hop Is Controversial: People Don't Bother Trying To Get It. The Problem Isn't In The Rap Or The Rapper Or The Culture. The Problem Is That So Many People Don't Even Know How To Listen To The Music.

It's Always Been Most Important For Me To Figure Out "my Space" Rather Than Trying To Check Out What Everyone Else Is Up To, Minute By Minute. Technology Is Making It Easier To Connect To Other People, But Maybe Harder To Keep Connected To Yourself-- And That's Essential For Any Artist, I Think.

Wherever I Go, I Bring The Culture With Me, So That They Can Understand That It's Attainable. I Didn't Do It Any Other Way Than Through Hip-hop.

Hip-hop Has Done So Much For Racial Relations, And I Don't Think It's Given The Proper Credit. It Has Changed America Immensely. I'm Going To Make A Very Bold Statement: Hip-hop Has Done More Than Any Leader, Politician, Or Anyone To Improve Race Relations.

Screamin' 'carpe Diem!' Until I'm A Dead Poet.
