That's because we did not set out to make black music. We set out to make quality music that everyone could enjoy and listen to.

What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.

I prefer black music in general.

I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in the history of music.

A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.

I know a lot of people who enjoy rap music who aren't black. You can't just say it's black music. To segregate films the way Hollywood likes to segregate films, ultimately everyone loses.
