I started DJing, breakdancing and MCing in the '70s and I got my record deal in 1979 with 'Christmas Rap.'
You know, I think Jesus was famous and also in a lot of trouble because he always chose people over sort of established procedures.
It's funny to be discovered by a lot of people who didn't know you before. People always used to say, 'Do you shop at Home Depot?' or 'Does your kid go to such and such school?' They want to know why they know me, even if they don't know my name. I don't think that's a bad thing, by the way I think it's nice to be kind of anonymously famous.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
