People are like, 'Wow you started your own record label,' and treat me like I'm some sort of innovative genius, when I'm not at all. You've got the Internet and music - you put them together, and people hear your music.

I was part of the generation that pushed the Internet. In fact, I broke as an artist in the U.S.A. because of the Internet.

The Internet has been a blessing and a curse. The curse we know: A lot of people appropriating your intellectual property without paying for it. But I think it's important to realize the blessing of the Internet, which is that everybody has a voice and you can break through, even without a record company.

The Internet was a saving grace for promoting and exposing, and even creating. It's a parallel world to the music industry that already exists, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

I think there's a gigantic generation gap in terms of how people understand the Internet and how much they think technology is an important factor in social change.

Nothing is more singular about this generation than its addiction to music.

My generation was born to work with social media - it's a natural part of our communication with the world.

When the music business failed to embrace the Internet, I thought it was game, set and match for the industry, and I quit.

I feel like I'm a product of this generation where everybody listens to charts with diverse music.

A lot of people in my generation, we use hip-hop as a tool to compose.
