There was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know.

Yeah, I did see where the people dissing me were coming from. But, it's like, anything that happened in the past between black and white, I can't really speak on it, because I wasn't there. I don't feel like me being born the color I am makes me any less of a person.

I am black or white, I'll never be grey in my life.

I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

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

I am not a black artist, I am an artist.
