"It gets embarrassing to say something untrue because you put it online and everyone knows about it, ..." — Prince

I'm thankful enough or blessed enough to be able to say that Miles Davis was a friend when he was alive, and he was a wonderful mentor and really, really funny, you know.

The music, for me, doesn't come on a schedule. I don't know when it's going to come, and when it does, I want it out.

I record all the time.

Hip-hop is very diverse, but if you only focus on one aspect of it, then what you get is this image of Black America that is completely contrary to what actually goes on.
