There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but they're really just propagandists.

You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions.

I don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift.

I've always loved rhyming. I love language.

You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.

I have mad brims.

I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture.

African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It's not a dormant. It's not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.

I don't hate nobody. I hate certain conditions that are inflicted upon the people - and they're helpless with it.

I come from a family of very devout, praying people. That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind.

I just don't think it's very dignified to ask people to like you. You can just wind up being somebody's ottoman.

Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

I like to read the 'Financial Times' when I'm traveling. 'Economist.' 'Ad Busters.'

All the things that are worth doing, take time.

Twitter freaks me out. You have followers? It feels so obsessive and proprietary.

And remember don't high post when you're far from home, and high posting when you're all alone.

Reckless capitalism kills black people.

To me, playing an instrument and singing, all of these different things are just as natural to me as rhyming.

My presence speaks volumes before I say a word.

I have mad brims.
