Danh ngôn của Ad-Rock (Sứ mệnh: 7)

Being a straight white guy in his, like, early twenties - there's some sort of thing about it. A sort of privilege, a sort of anger or something. You just say some really stupid things.
Rap is the only super-current music. If you're into reggae or dancehall, and you don't know Bob Marley, then you don't really know what you're listening to. But if you're listening to rap, and you're 15, you're like, 'Grandmaster Flash? Who's that? Public Enemy? Yeah, my dad told me about them once.' And that's just how it is.
I have no idea about the state of rap. I don't pay attention. I just listen to old music that I have.
I lost my mom when I was young.
I watch NY1 every morning and have Pat Kiernan curate my news stories.
If I could sing, that would be cool. But I can't. I mean, I physically can, but I'm awful. It's weird to be really bad at singing.
If I had to say something, it would be 'Lighten up. Be cool.' There's just so many buffoons out there.
You know how there's all these rappers like Mike D and King T and Ice T and Cool C or something like that? Well, on Mayberry, on 'Andy Griffith,' they had Aunt B.
I trust anybody's memory more than I trust mine.
I know that when I get down or feel alone or depressed, I make music, and it makes me happy.
I grew up - my dad, every time I was with my dad, he was always - not always, but he wrote. He's a writer. So he was always in his office writing. He made a plan and, like, a point of, 'This is my work. I'm going to do this every day for these amount of hours.' So I think that's where I got, like, a work sort of ethic.
When I was in a couple of movies in the '80s, I was winging it.
