I don't know why this concept of what is hip became so important to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know what makes someone hip. The goal is artist achievement and the best work we can do with no limitation.
I think you create your own hipness.
Hip is the sophistication of the wise primitive in a giant jungle.
I had a hip replacement a couple of years ago. I have a song about that. And why wouldn't you? It strikes me that that was a huge event. It's kind of funny and horrible and interesting, so why wouldn't one write about that?
Hippy people had a hopeful idea of what they wanted the world to be like, then most of them changed into corporate Yuppies. But I still have that hippy thing underneath somewhere.
I was never a hippy, per se.
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.
Hip-hop is supposed to uplift and create, to educate people on a larger level and to make a change.
Being a hippy was the most natural thing in the world to me.
I'm like old shoes. I've never been hip. I think the reason I'm still here is that I was never enough in fashion that I had to be replaced by something new.
