    • Quotes
      Rap music is and will be no better than the society from which it springs. If America is greedy, so is it's music. If America is violent, so will be it's music. America is getting the rap music it deserves right now. When the smoke clears, people will realize that this is exciting, wildly inventive, astonishingly beautiful music. - The Seattle Times, October 2000
