“MTV did not start playing Hip Hop videos because they cared about the black community or KRS One, they played Hip Hip videos because it made economic sense!”

“The main reason Interscope Records is so successful is that Dr. Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent can sell to white America. They don’t sell to a racially marked market. They sell to the majority.”

“Soulful house is all about being black . . .You want to make a living at it? You have to sell it to white people.”

“You’ve got to make house Gangsta!”

“Soulful house whether it’s the gospel message or Kenny Bobien or Osunlade with a bone through his nose chanting Shango, that won’t fly in America today where people want to buy a Hummer or a Scion.”
