Let The Music Diffuse All The Tension.

I'm Out For Presidents To Represent Me (say What?) I'm Out For Dead Presidents To Represent Me.

It's Not Just Hip-hop That's Dead. Mostly Every Form Of American Music Is Dead. It's Been Dead. R&b Isn't Really Good.

When I Made Illmatic, I Was Trying To Make The Perfect Album. It Comes From The Days Of Wild Style. I Was Trying To Make You Experience My Life. I Wanted You To Look At Hip-hop Differently. I Wanted You To Feel That Hip-hop Was Changing And Becoming Something More Real.

You're Supposed To Be Who You Are. You're Supposed To Make Music That Is True To You.

It's A Thin Line Between Paper And Hate, Friends And Snakes, Nine Millis And Thirty-eights, Hell Or The Pearly Gates...i Was Destined To Come, Predicted, Blame God, He Blew Breath In My Lungs.
