"People assume a lot of things about me," he [Shadow] says. "But hip-hop is what I grew up on. People need to realize that. I liked rap before Public Enemy. I liked rap during Public Enemy. And I liked rap after Public Enemy. But back then I didn't have to explain why I liked it. It was just, well, this is what's happening. It's hot, it's fresh, it gives you that adrenaline rush. I like music that does that."

..."The album is called 'The Outsider' because I don't fit in anywhere," Davis says, swerving his chair toward the monitor. "I don't dabble in all these different types of music, I love all these different types of music. There's too much good stuff out there to limit yourself."
