Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Talib: I think hip-hop is going to change with the people. I'm very cautious about getting caught up in that mind state, and somehow suggesting that Bush's presidency is good for hip-hop and will create a reaction.
-
Talib My fondest memories were watching the Beastie Boys get prepped to come on stage. They had a lot of antics and they play a lot of basketball… then they were giving out cameras to the crowd, and performing from the bleachers… The most important thing I learnt was that you control your crowd, not the other way around. They would chastise the crowd for being too rowdy if it looked like people were gonna get hurt. That was cool.
-
Talib: I think once you're in the public eye, whether you're a boss, a teacher or whatever you do, that you're automatically in the position of role model. You have people looking up to you, so whether you choose to accept it or not is a different question.
