I Fell In Love With Words And

Hip-hop Ain't Died Because Of The South, That's Retarded. When I Named The Album Originally, I Thought I Bit Off More Than I Could Chew But You'd Be An Idiot To Think I'm Talking About How The South Killed Hip-hop Or How New York Isn't Where It Should Be Or Where It Once Was. It Was Like, "damn, I Need To Explain This?" But I Thought, "nah, The Proof Is Right There. We Should Know What It Is." I Expect The Hip-hop Audience To Be Avant Garde. I Want Them To Be Where I'm At Or Beyond Where I'm At.

Unfortunately, Man, A Lot Of Places In America Have To Deal With Unnecessary Violence. Somebody Like Me Who Knows It Firsthand And Could Relate... I Had A Best Friend Killed, Plenty Other Friends Killed. I Been Through It. I Seen It.

Hip-hop Is Such An Amazing Thing That Kids Still Want To Do It. They're Not Saying, "ugh, That's The Old People's Music." No, They're Younger Than They've Ever Been That Want To Get Into Hip-hop Music.

The Internet Made The World Smaller, So It's Easier For People To Hear Your Music. You Don't Necessarily Need A Radio Record.
