I Think Hip Hop Is A Dance

So I Think Hip-hop Is Moving And Is Going To Continue To Move In The Direction Of Rappers Just Being Honest With Themselves, Whether You're Talking About Common And Mos Def Or Nas And 50 Cent.

Homosexuality In Hip-hop Is An Extension Of Homosexuality In The Black Community. The Black Community Is Very, Very Conservative When It Comes To Homosexuality, And I Don't Mean Conservative In The Good Way, Like We're Saving Money. I Mean Very Intolerant.

"art Imitates Life," Of Course, Is That Phrase By Oscar Wilde. I Called That Song "art Imitates Life" Because Oh No Was In The Studio And He Actually Came Up With That Hook. When I Was Trying To Figure Out A Name For The Record, It Just Kind Of Made Sense.

I Tour Whether I Have Album Out Or Not. I Tour More Than Any Other Hip-hop Artist.

To Be Honest, That Whole Exchange With Crunk Feminist Actually Made Me Write The Song Because I Realize There's A Lot Of Young Women Out There So Hurt By The Misogynistic Images In Hip-hop They Paint It With Such A Broad Brush Stroke That They Think Anybody That Defends Hip-hop Is Defending Misogyny.
