“Rock and roll, that’s shit’s over,” he said. “It’s over in the sense that it’s not just guitars, that’s not what rock and roll is. You can’t be a punk because you have studs in your fucking leather jacket, you can’t say, ‘Oh, I’m just into hip hop,’ because they’re sampling shit that you’re not even fucking listening to."
“What I was more or less saying in “Hip Hop Kids” is that there aren’t the same boundaries that there were—and fuck you if you think you’re fucking punk. I mean I guess that makes me super punk rock, so fuck you [laughs].”
