The Onion: How did you become interested in the Internet?

Chuck D: I found that in 1994, traditional media such as radio and television and print were becoming skewed out of the price range of folks like me by the major record labels, which made it increasingly impossible to promote in that world. The Internet was a saving grace for promoting and exposing, and even creating. It's a parallel world to the music industry that already exists, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

If you're a fan of rap or not, this is a good interview of one of the people helping to bring music to the net.
