You know, he didn't like to be boxed in and he really set a blueprint, I think, for a lot of artists, especially emcees in the '90s and beyond, to be more than just the person that stands in front of the microphone.
他不喜欢被束缚在自己的圈子里，我觉得，他为许多艺术家，尤其是90年代及以后的说唱者，制定了一个蓝图，让他们不仅仅成为站在麦克风前的人。
I try to go outside the boundaries. Sometimes, it's effective and it's positive. Sometimes, it's negative and it blows up in my face.

You know, being the race that we are, being the strong race that we are, we picked it up, we picked up those positive vibes and started rapping.

I'm just trying to show who I am, that the people locked up on one part of me, that they really do not understand.
我只是想表明我的身份，那些只盯着我的一部分不放的人，他们真的不理解我。
So now I'm trying to do two things -- one, help them understand the part of me that they didn't understand, and two is to show that, you know, this is the type of things that young black males can do.
现在我试着做两件事。一，帮助这些人理解我身上他们不理解的部分，二，向这些人展示这是年轻黑人男性可以做的事情。
