"I was thinking, the Wu-Tang Clan said it all the time — I’ve heard it in Method Man song. And no one even bats an eyelid. So why is it more heavy when it comes from me? It’s kinda interesting. Because I think the image — what I am and the body that I’m in — is totally different to what Method Man looks like. And it’s probably more scary coming from him than me. But, it’s amazing innit? Which is what I want to show — I am the scary thing right now. It’s really mad. It’s just kinda like, I wouldn’t really say it too much, but I just kinda want to be there — offer myself to be there as whatever it is, so people can learn it as it happens...

It’s like becoming the new gangsta culture. You know what I mean?

OK OK, but can anyone tell me what "carioca funk" is??
