To me, it's an honour to be accepted as a hip hop artist, it gives me a lot of opportunity to express myself.
I wanna feed 5,000 like Jesus, I wanna build a community center where the homeless and less fortunate can come take a shower, get a hot meal and a change of clothes. Maybe not new clothes but some clean clothes. Those are my goals, my raps and goals haven't changed. I'm about helping somebody, I use my celebrity status for the good of mankind. That's what I do, so for all the Hip-Hop people, if they just pull from me the gold, they're missing so much.
I don't care who you talk about down south, Boosie gonna win. I'm the only one to put out a whole album, with more songs, so I don't care who said what. The fans tell the truth. I got real fans - more fans than everybody, so Boosie gonna win [in Hip Hop Survivor: Down South Edition.].
I liked hip-hop, wanted to do rap, and wanted to stand on a large stage. If you look at it in another angle... it's something that I chose.
If culture was a railroad, I can see the tracks running from the Spirituals to the Hip Hop Nation.
I like my R&B, my hip-hop. But I'm old school, I don't like a lot of new stuff. Though I do like a little bit of Meek Mill. He kind of sounds angry when he's rapping so I like that part of the game.
Dabbling in music and being in music when I was young I had my own view of what I thought music was whether it was jazz, r&b, or hip hop.
Me and hip-hop have a relationship that has nothing to do with no other rapper, no matter where you from or nothing. Every n*gga got his own personal relationship with hip-hop and this is mine.
Hip-hop used to be about battles, beatboxing and breakdancing. All they get exposed to now is the negative stuff.
You have to have a balance, and I think that people get upset about Hip-Hop and say that it's dead because there is no balance. It's just all this simple-minded music, and it doesn't seem to be any content, and the dance club music outnumbers the little content there is.
Allegedly Jesus went through the town and spread the word and the word was God. You know what I mean? And Sean Price... Jesus Price... is going through the hood spreading the word and the word is good hip-hop. That's where it started. There ain't no pictures in there with nails on a cross, I ain't walking no water, I ain't turning water to wine, none of that crazy s**t.
The hip hop community is not at fault here - I'm definitely not blaming them. But, that can't be the only view of manhood for our young men.
When you go to South Africa, you get a different vibe and a different sound. The music is awesome the people are loving it. When you go to Botswana, it's a different ball game. The people out there love Afro Beat Hip Hop so much. When you go to Sierra Leone it's different, when you go to Nigeria it's different... It's all pretty exciting!
People need to understand that hip-hop that has gun talk is just for entertainment; similar to if you were watching a movie.
My love of R&B and hip-hop has influenced my life not even as a musician, but generally in terms of growing up and looking to America as an inspiration.
I want to be the bridge. I embrace it. I don't mind being a leader. I don't mind opening the doors. I guess my prayer is that there will be other leaders behind me who will come in and do more than what I've done, and more than what I can do and that this serves as an opportunity to level the playing field in hip-hop. I just want to be able to say "Hey, there's way more going on in life than the club."
I think there are lots of things that people think are so different but they're not. People think there is a huge difference between hip hop and country music, but there is really not when you start looking into themes and what people are struggling with or celebrating. When you break it down to the chords and the beats it is all the same. Personally, I am obsessed with music as it is a limitless tunnel that you can explore.
I hope people have pulled something about me and said "Hey Mr. T loves his mother, hey Mr. T ain't no dummy, hey Mr. T never grabbed his crotch," when you're talking about Hip-Hop culture.
Hip hop, this is church. Church, this is hip-hop. Y'all need to meet. I know you have some misconceptions about them, I know you have some misconceptions about them. Let's work through this because there's a lot of false perspective.
I'm a fan of hip hop music, so I always used a hip hop element in my music anyway.
I think hip hop allows us to talk about everything, and Africa is what I choose to talk about now. If people are not talking about Africa, that's them, that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But this is who I am, this is what I have to say, this is what I have to offer.
Hopefully we get back to the raw essence of hip hop again.
Hip-Hop itself, the culture, the way that it's going you could always see the effect that it has on basketball.
Why do you do smoky makeup, why do you try to act pretty on broadcast, etc. For hip-hop where purity is important and masculinity plays a large part, I believe it's definitely a critique that could come out.
Did the record [Danger] do well? I believe it did what it should have. It showed the hip hop community that Tony Sunshine is doing well and looking great.
