Image of Eddie Murphy
I never hated hip-hop. It became the new rock and roll. It became the biggest thing that Africans have ever done in the history of the Americas.

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves.

Goalkeepers aren't supposed to do that.
