That's what hip-hop is: It's sociology and English put to a beat, you know.

Hip-hop is a vehicle.

Hip-hop isn't as complex as a woman is.

I think hip hop is a dance music that's rebellious by nature.

I don't think that early hip hop stood out to be a social critique. A lot of fans of mine think that hip hop's ultimate responsibility is to critique social structures.

The beautiful thing about hip-hop is it's like an audio collage. You can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and it'll be a hip-hop song. That's the only music you can do that with.
