Taking time out from his busy schedule he managed to answer some questions for me. In 84' hip-hop was at its peek then. Everyone was involved in one way or another. The most popular section of hip-hop back then was breaking. My dad owned a church when I was growing up.
Church is the best musical education for black kids.
It still is. There ain't one successful black artist that hasn't been to one. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I've done the commercial money thing and that I cleaned up. What they will also say is that it didn't mean anything to society or to the world of music, which is why I do what I do now. Also I do this for a lot less money.
