Welcome to Atlanta Jack and hammers and vogues Back to the mackin' and jackin' the clothes Adolescents packin the fo'

You gotta understand: I'm a man with needs that needs fulfilling. And if you ain't with it, somebody else is willing.

You took the Alkaholik challenge, and lost your balance You underground, we under water drinkin liquid by the gallons

What's the basis when rappers don't know the basics? Still not takin' advice from those I wouldn't trade places with.

I don't know what's better: getting laid or getting paid. I just know when I'm getting one, the other's getting away.

So from Jazz, Blues, R&B, Soul, Classical and Country music, Hip Hop has introduced us to a little bit of everything.

Underground hip-hop is, like, one of my foundations, I would say a cornerstone of my foundation of my musical tastes.

Hip-Hop is being spoken through spirituality... Meaning that you'll be able to listen to it spiritually for yourself.

I don't talk to media or anyone before games. I just put my headphones on, turn up some hip-hop, and get in the zone.

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth. Not the biased truth, Not the liest truth, But the highest truth.

Аll I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man. What I stand for speaks for itself...they don't understand.

There's a million ways to live on this thing called a planet, I'mma live everyday, I ain't takin' nothing for granted.

It's not just hip-hop that's dead. Mostly every form of American music is dead. It's been dead. R&B isn't really good.

Hip-hop is such a wide statement of culture that everyone is not the same, and it's impossible to put it into one box.

As much as I am hip-hop, I'm soul. As much as I am soul, I'm a turntablist. As much as I'm a DJ, I love jazz and rock.

Hip-hop is a competition culture. It's based around, "My DJ is better than you. My graffiti artist is better than you."

And when it comes to gettin nookie, I'm not a rookie... I got girls that make that chick Toni Braxton look like Whoopi.

But there's so many things in life like women, like children, like God and family that transcends the world of hip-hop.

I'm not trying to change the face of hip-hop music. I'm trying to make my records and always take the next step for me.

I'm going to be honest, I would love for Flava Flav to be president. It would bring a lot of excitement to the country.

House music is about love, and lots of hip hop is about hate and intolerance, so in that respect, it's not good at all.

All of a sudden it became that hip hop didn't used to be about partying; hip hop used to be about putting out a message.

The biggest thing that has happened to hip-hop is the clinging on to the corporation as the all-mighty hub of the music.

Dallas Mavericks want me as a bald-headed 5' 8" guard with a 95" vertical. Vince Carter respect my legs, ask Shawn Kemp.

Keep my planets in orbit, Never forfeit or quit, Move forward... I talk with the awkward slang, I walk with the Wu-Tang.

We speak the love language, they speak from pain and anguish. Some don't love theyselves, so they perception is tainted.

Hip Hop has introduced us to a lot of genres that we probably wouldn't even listen to in our own homes from our parents.

Hip-hop and R&B is mostly what I listen to. I don't have a connection with punk rock - I just never had that experience.

The hip-hop community is made up of a lot of hustlers. Everybody is trying to get theirs, and everybody is trying to eat.

Hip-hop is just something I actually know how to do. But I always had aspirations to participate in other forms of music.

Your best work involves timing. If someone wrote the best hip hop song of all time in the Middle Ages, he had bad timing.

When I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn't understand the concept of people talking over music.

I listen to everything while I train. From old school reggae, to classical stuff like Bach, to hip-hop, to rock and roll.

So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never, Because the dance with the devil might last you forever.

So you think that hip-hop had it's start out in Queensbridge, If you popped that junk up in the Bronx you might not live.

I really love hip hop. My cousin Nas came out with an album Life Is Good, and I love that album, but I also love Maroon 5.

Heltah Skeltah-meets-Portishead would be like the Brand New Heavies Hip Hop album, something like that. That's dope, word.

I'm a monster, I'm a maven, I know this world is changin'. Never gave in, never gave up, I'm the only thing I'm afraid of.

We shoppers, you bloggers. If money talks, you mumblers. You try it on, then take it off, Then post a pic on your tumblrs.

I want to move away from sampling records and just have it be quite minimal. I don't want any more hip-hop beats in there.

It's like hip hop all over again, back in the '70s back in the Bronx, when it was just bubbling. But it's going to be huge.

Challenge me, that'd be to my advantage I'm outstanding, like standing outside up in the twister, and walking out undamaged

Hip-hop was created out of necessity. We needed to create some digitized things to help us understand what we were feeling.

What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves.

I had friends who only listened to hip-hop. I had friends who only listened to musicals, and I stood proudly in the middle.

Hip-hop has globalized a conception of blackness that has had a political impact, whether or not it had a political intent.

Hip-hop in Africa has been very often a duplication of an American experience, but in a context that's totally alien to it.

I'm 60, and I did 60-year-old women songs. I'm not trying to be the Hip-Hop Queen, although I am the original Hip Hop Queen.

Look inside my soul and you can find gold and maybe get rich. Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exists.

People need to understand that hip-hop that has gun talk is just for entertainment; similar to if you were watching a movie.
