Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.

White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes, but hip-hop and R&ampB changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.

I grew up around hip-hop so I didn't think it was about being cool or being black or being white or whatever.

It's pretty cool to be able to hang out with the President and have the race-winning car on the South Lawn.

I love 'Goodfellas' because it's a great movie - it's funny and there is action at perfect points. I just think Martin Scorsese makes everyone look really cool.
