I always aimed at being a legend.

There is only one legend. That's me.

A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.

Hip hop is the strongest form of protest there is, and it doesn't always have to be a violent protest. It can be romantic, also. When you listen to Kanye West's 'Street Lights' for example, there's romance, there's pain - you feel the essence. I get the same thing from Drake and 2 Chainz.

Woodstock was both a peaceful protest and a global celebration.

I mean, there's a hell of a lot of grounds for protest, but you don't do it through music.

Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts.

I've had a lifelong obsession with urban legends and American folklore.

You can't just sit around and make protest albums all your life; eventually it comes to the point where you have to do something.
