"I wanted to make an album about identity, and within that is the idea of a higher power, the idea of randomness, and that anything can happen, and that we can't control it." -Jeff Tweedy

“Everything I do is going to be gangsta rap, street based, street oriented… I’m from Gary, Indiana, and everybody’s damn near at the poverty level. It’s a rough city to grow up in, and it’s a modern-day ghost town. I can come from that, and be strong, intelligent, and articulate and put this project out, and let you know that, hey, I’m a street nigga, but I can do productive things as well. It’s not just a motherfucker that’s rapping gangsta shit, shoot ‘em up, bang bang. You’re going to take something from my record." -Freddie Gibbs

"What I'm trying to do now is not use too many words. There's no line that you can stick your finger through, there's no hole in any of the stanzas. There's no blank filler. Each line has something." -Bob Dylan
