I was myself so smitten in public opinion that it was the almost universal view that my political life was at last ended.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

Look, people are allowed their own opinions and they don't always coincide with yours. As an artist you just have to keep plugging on.

The snake that cannot shed its skin perishes. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.

Hip Hop when it started it was supposed to be this new thing that had no boundaries and was so different to everyday music. Now it seems like I was starting to get caught up in the mode of what made hip hop come about. As long as the music has the true to the heart soul it can be hip hop. As long it has soul to it, hip hop can live on.

When we have to change our mind about a person, we hold the inconvenience he causes us very much against him.
