• When I made Illmatic, I was trying to make the perfect album. It comes from the days of Wild Style. I was trying to make you experience my life. I wanted you to look at hip-hop differently. I wanted you to feel that hip-hop was changing and becoming something more real.

• Nas' Illmatic blew my mind when I first heard it. The poetry was done on such a high level that in a way, it validated our existence, our culture. He used the language of the street at the time and made it art. Art tends to be validating.

• The things Nas' Illmatic was saying were sometimes hard realities but it was done on such a high level, I felt I could point to him as a representative. Someone who put my struggle and my worldview into poetry.

• Antes, cuando un buen disco estaba a punto de salir, lo escuchabas en todos los coches y todos los niños con un radiocasete lo ponían 3-4 semanas antes de que saliera. Ahora no es asi, solo ves ipods a diestro y siniestro y no hay factor de anticipacion. Todavía tengo que ver algo que salga con la expectación que tuvieron Illmatic o Ready 2 Die y Cuban Linx. Esos discos tenían factores de expectación reales.
