• I am amazed at the seeker of purity
  When time for polishing comes
  Complaints of harsh treatment
  Love is a lawsuit
  Without evidence, you will not win
  My son, when one beats the rug The beating is not intended against the rug
  But against the dust inside the rug
  My son, that harsh treatment
  Is not intended against you
  But against the ill qualities inside you

  Rumi

• Hip-hop is not something we do, it's something we live. It's the way we dress, the way we talk... everybody bobbing to the same beat. It's a culture, and you have to find your own place in that culture. Top 10 or Top 40 can't dictate that. They can only dictate what's marketable.
