“Jesus did. I was hopping along, when suddenly he comes and cures me. One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next moment me livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by your leave. Look.

“Reggaeton means the same thing to Latino youth as hip-hop does to African-American kids. We didn't have artists to look up to before.

It's their music.”

“It's tough in the Hip Hop industry to continue to create, because the powers that be want a throw away art. They didn't think Rap Music would even last. So instead of trying to get rid of rap music, because everyone benefits from it, they try to get rid of seasoned rappers, at a point in their careers when they finally know the ins and outs of the business aspect of their careers. You see what Prince did when he realized that he didn't own anything, he put slave on his cheek. He came to a point in his career where he was educated enough to be wiser in his choices and realized his true leverage power.”
Daz Dillinger
“The Fort Minor record is all about getting back to basics in Hip-Hop, both sonically and for me personally, ... And working with Jay-Z again has been phenomenal. We can't wait for people to hear the final product.”
