You never know when you're going to be considered un-hip... The people that really pass judgment on you really have nothing to do with what you do, usually.

I don't know why this concept of what is hip became so important to me.
I was never a hippy, per se.
I think you create your own hipness.
If I'm hip, we've got a problem in this country. I really shouldn't be held up as any model of hipness. If anything, I think I'm sort of old school in my approach to objective reporting and not wearing my opinion on my sleeve. There's a lot of that in American TV news these days. Too much, in fact.
I think of myself as kind of a hippy. Everyone around me says that's not the impression they get. They think I'm sassy. Apparently, I think I'm nicer than I really am.
I don't know what makes someone hip. The goal is artist achievement and the best work we can do with no limitation.
Hip-hop is so much about character and caricature that people just see you as a character. Very rarely are you flesh and bone to people.
I hate the word 'hippy'. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don't do that!
Between New York and LA, there's 200 million people that aren't hip, and they don't want to be hip.
As far as critics, I'm not a hip guy. I was never on drugs. Nobody ever felt sorry for me 'cause I went straight or found God. I always had God. I've always like, played by the rules.
