I grew up in the '80s and '90s listening to public enemy and mobb deep and the smashing pumpkins. i don't even know what it was like in the '60s - i wasn't alive then - so the mayer hawthorne sound is taking what i can learn from the classics, and blending it with my hip-hop dj and producer background and punk-rock bands that i played in as a kid.

More From Mayer Hawthorne

Socially, hip-hop has done more for racial camaraderie in this country than any one thing. 'cause guys like me, my kids - everyone under 45 either grew up loving hip-hop or hating hip-hop, but everyone under 45 grew up very aware of hip-hop. so when you're a white kid and you're listening to this music and you're being exposed to it every day on mtv, black people become less frightening. this is just a reality. what hip-hop has done bringing people together is enormous.

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

That's why this generation is the least racist generation ever. you see it all the time. go to any club. people are intermingling, hanging out, having fun, enjoying the same music. hip-hop is not just in the bronx anymore. it's worldwide. everywhere you go, people are listening to hip-hop and partying together. hip-hop has done that.
