"I only hope that one day, America will recognize what the rest of the world already has known, that ..." — Quincy Jones

I guess hip-hop has been closer to the pulse of the streets than any music we've had in a long time. It's sociology as well as music, which is in keeping with the tradition of black music in America.

I started imagining this whole different world. It was a society of musicians, a family I hoped I could belong to one day.

We spent most of our life almost like street rats just running around the street until we were ten years old.

I live on the Internet.
