Everybody raps. We rap to make money. We do business. Ain't no other record company out there that sold as many records as we did.

I do not trust self serving misinformation coming from corporations and their media trolls. I do not trust politicians who are taking millions from those corporations either. I trust people. So I make my music for people not for candidates.

What we've had to do is learn to control success, put it in perspective, and not lose the essence of what we're doing - the music.

If fidelity really mattered, 'Loveless' wouldn't be one of the best records of all time.

I wanted a participation song, something the fans could latch on to. It was aimed at the masses. I wanted to write something that everyone could sing along to, like a football chant. And at the same time, I thought it would be nice to have a winning song that's meant for everybody. It worked a treat.

I don't have to perform to stay in the public eye anymore. I really don't. I am who I am and what I do on musical stage these days really makes no difference at all. I already have all the momentum there. I am only doing it because I love to do it.
