Respect where it’s due.

“No one knows who is doing it right.”

“Miles and hip-hop share the same blood.”

As part of a new partnership.

“I regret letting people talk me into putting it on an album.”

“We had to give ’em something to hate us for.”

“New York you make it happen.”

“To me, hip-hop’s been dead for years.”

“It cleared the way.”

“It was just creating.”

East Coast rappers sprinkled with California cool.

“Chalk it up to the blunts.”
