Pop music has progressed.

The thing about hip-hop is that it's from the underground, ideas from the underbelly, from people who have mostly been locked out, who have not been recognized.

I think hip hop is dead. It's all pop now. If you call it hip hop, then you need to stop. Hip hop was a movement. Hip hop was a culture. Hip hop was a way of life. It's all commercial now.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

Hip-hop is all over the planet.

Hip-hop is definitely not what it used to be, which was creative, original music.

Pop music has always been about the mainstream and what appeals to the public.

I don't know, I feel like as time has gone on, hip-hop has become really redundant and repetitive.

Hip-hop educated me about other forms of music, because it sampled from all different styles.
