"That album was such a big influence on me; it was played a lot on the eight-track in the transit van as we travelled to gigs. We liked it, it was mega. The songs were great, it had I’m Waiting For The Man and Sweet Jane on it, and it was really dark."

"It’s not an album; it’s a mountain. It’s an immense, granite form aggressively rising from volcanic soil. It questions everything: sound, elegance, bluntness, how far one can go. It’s pure hubris, mixing politics with extreme intimacy, braggadocio with immense vulnerability. I always come back to it whenever I want to know what courage is."

"Most of their beginning shit is what I fuck with. I like that real underground early shit. They were keeping it trill around that time. That's like me putting out a second album. Motherfuckers were just keeping it true to themselves and shit. Pimp C, Bun B. They're the reason we're on that trill shit."
