“Nobody crossed it over to non-hip-hop fans and made them feel like hip-hop, until Slug. Run DMC did it. They were a great rap group that operated with rock and roll ethics. Slug was our punk rock model that would play for anybody because he felt this was music you needed to hear — no matter who you were.”

Siddiq y Brother Ali, en entrevista con Impose Magazine, hablando sobre la razón del éxito de Atmopshere.

“Nadie hizo el crossover con los fans non-rappers y los hizo sentir como hip-hop, hasta Slug. Run DMC lo hizo. Eran un gran grupo de rap que operaba con la ética del rock and roll. Slug era nuestro modelo punk que tocaría para cualquiera porque sentía que esta era la música que necesitabas escuchar sin importar quién fueras”.
