“There’s more copycat heavy metal than copycat rap.

We hereby challenge Bon Jovi to an MC contest!”

—MCA & Mike D.

"Five years from now, I might be selling used cars on the lot. I really don't care 'cause I'm having so much fun now."

—MCA

“Rap is here to stay.

We sell more records than those other artists, but we still don’t get no respect. We’re just gonna have to get out there and kick a lot of behind on this tour!”

—Darryl McDaniels
