I've got a big iPod collection. And I don't really have CDs. I throw them all away. I don't have whole albums on there. Why bother? If there are four songs from the album on my iPod, then it's a good album. Like Carole King's Tapestry and Michael Jackson albums have a good iPod count. To me it's all about the songs.

"One advantage of writing "slave" on my face back then is that when I meet with a label now, they already know they're not going to be owning anything. Maybe at one time you could get Little Richard for a new car and a bucket of chicken. We don't roll like that no more."- Prince, Rolling Stone, 5/27/04

Sick of dudes claiming they 'kings of cities,' man.
I'm sick of everybody being Pac and Biggie fans.

I'm sick of everybody in your crocheted skullies.
Now you think your conscious? OK, buddy!

"My newly lowered self-esteem coupled with my anger, depression, and an over-willingness to drink one too many vodka and sodas is just what the docter ordered to get me into the sack on the first date. It's true, I've eaten one too many bonbons in recent days, and my pants are feeling a little snugger. Yet despite my spare tire, ghetto booty, and the mountain of laundry taking over my room, I'm cute." - Dana Robinson, personal ad on Esquire's Brutally Honest Personals

"Looking back on the early days of hip-hop, it's really a part of our lives, but when I look at the 60's, it's ancient history. To young kids now, the early days of hip-hop must seem like ancient history because it's not something that they lived." - MCA (Beastie Boys), Complex, June/July 2004

Is "Apple" an appropriate name for Gwynneth Paltrow's new baby girl? "It's a cute name. It's definitely different, has a little pizzaz. I mean, everyone knows the typical "fruit" names like Peaches.
