	::D.O.E.:: “When I was getting my deal with Tim, his whole situation was falling apart and he asked me to fall back from the mixtape scene because he didn’t have a situation and I was still on Interscope.

So that’s what I did – I fell back. I definitely think the people haven’t seen enough of me. That’s why they sleep.”

	::ROCK:: Jurassic 5 carved their own niche in the game effortlessly blending old-school and new-school together in a way that had never been done before.

	::SHAWNNA:: "I'm so visible to people when I'm on television or when I'm out in a crowd so I make sure people know that I'm reachable, that I can be touched. I'm not a superstar and I don't want to be a superstar."
	::RAMPAGE:: "I was reading XXL and they had me on the milk carton. I knew I had to get back out there. They put the spark in my backpack to make it happen. It's all good seeing that. I laughed at it and I had my jokes with it, but it was also the key for me to get back to the music."

	::CORY GUNZ:: "I was making music for myself and the streets loved it, but I have to also do it for the people who are going to buy my records and feed my family. That's the biggest difficulty. I have to step out of my box."
	::JIN:: "I don't think the Ruff Ryders were trying to turn me into something I wasn't. I think at that time in my life I was trying to figure out stuff for myself. On one side, they were telling me they needed a certain joint to be a single, and then the partner, Virgin, would want me to go another way. I'm trying to transform that whole process into my music so people know what really happened."
	::SHABAZZ THE DISCIPLE:: "My music is for the little juvies who throw up gang signs. My music is for the little kid whose mother is a dope fiend and his father is doing twenty-five to life and he's learning the hard way. That's who my music is for. I'm speaking to them. You have to have had a very vivid experience to speak to them and I'm willing to take that challenge, man."
	::Mr. LIF:: "This album is just me being ultra-personal. I figured I had a four-year hiatus and I wanted my fans to know exactly what I was going through and to see how tough it is to live up to your own standards. One of the biggest things holding me back was my standards."
	::TRUJILLO:: "We're going to set a mark in this game. People have to let this real hip-hop shit come out. I feel like that's what I want this record to do. I want it to bring that real, raw, New York gutter sound back."
	::BUCKSHOT:: "People have tried to remove our page in history. We have continued to sit back and move forward with our mission. We have not been quiet about it but we haven't been trying to turn it around and shown our beast mode because we've been concentrating on moving forward."

	::PITCH BLACK:: "Mainstream listeners are followers. They follow what's hot at the time. Our core fan-base is not followers. Being independent, we're able to reach our core audience more and have them embrace us instead of going to a major and having the masses like us for a minute."
	::THE PROCUSSIONS:: HipHopGame sits down with the Rawkus-signed group The Procussions to get the story behind their new album, positivity, and stage-diving.
	::ESG:: "Mike Jones is saying he started rapping about candy-paint and all that. We've been doing it for the last eight years. It's real frustrating other people are benefiting off of DJ Screw's name and movement. I have to step up and make sure our story gets told one way or another."
	::GM GRIMM:: "I feel the triple-CD is really where it's at. It's about being a part of history and creating history. It's too easy to just do ten or twelve songs and put it out. I know people hear I have sixty songs and they probably think I have five good songs. I love that challenge."

	::ILLA GHEE:: "The South is doing their thing right now. You can't be mad at that. I think my peers right now are confused. They really don't know what they want to do. They want to bring New York back, but they should stop saying that because we never left. Their heart is in the right place, but their mind isn't."

	::MISTAH FAB:: "I hope we all see the bigger picture because one artist can not bring the proper perspective of the Hyphy movement to the nation. Mac Dre had the ability, but haters killed him. E-40 has the ability. We're trying to be that big machine with the head, the body, the limbs, and not one part of that machine is valuable without the others."
	::SMITTY:: "Dre would rather figure out how you could be playing a song four years from now. Puffy kept the money flowing. I wrote four or five songs a day working with Puff. It was a machine. I had the best of both worlds. How many artists have been able to have been cultivated by two icons in hip-hop? I can't say I'm not blessed."

	::POOH:: "I know when we put music out, it's going to be dope. It doesn't matter if we have Drama, Mos Def, or Bun-B on it. It's going to be dope and as long as it's dope, nobody should have a problem with it."

	::VAKILL:: "The mainstream is finally starting to notice me. I have a buzz without having a record that's getting mainstream radio play. The timing is right for this type of music. It's time for a different representation of my city to come forward."
	::CRAIG G:: "People ask me why I'm trying to come back. I'm not trying to come back. I just want to be taken seriously and heard as an artist. There are people in my camp that are prepared to be stars and I'm ready to take them there. "
