"I tell my sons, I say, if you're going somewhere, you don't have to wear a hoodie - we live in New Y..." — Rza

'The Good Earth' is a great book.

If you take 'Nothin' But a G Thang' by Dr Dre, that could also be an R&B record. 'Bonita Applebum' by A Tribe Called Quest could even be a jazz record. 'Bring Da Ruckus,' you gotta call it hip-hop.

I'm glad Wu-Tang was able to inspire other producers and artists, but I would never want to be erased or removed.

While a lot of hip-hop was inspired by jazz or James Brown samples and was made to be played live in the clubs, I made hip-hop that was made for MCs to eat the mic up. It was an aggressive form of hip-hop. It was made just for hip-hop. It's not made to sing or dance to, though you can if you want.
