I'm someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song.

I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.

Image
I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.

I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.

I think that civil rights issues take a lot of time to develop.

I'd always thought that if I could get sober and stay sober, I would be able to have a career making music. My drug and alcohol addiction was the one thing holding me back. I had finally gotten the tools to stay sober, and it was just a matter of writing the songs.

I buy whatever I see, but I tend to not spend money just to spend it.

I definitely use smiling while rapping as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording. At times it can get tedious and stressful when it's not sounding the way you heard it in your head, but you've got to remember to just smile and appreciate the fact that you're even in the booth and there are people who want to hear your art.

If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me. Have you read the YouTube comments lately? 'Man, that's gay' gets dropped on the daily.

Bullying is a national epidemic.

Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.

I grew up in the spoken-word community. Before everybody had a home studio, or before we could get booked for shows, open mics were the only way to be heard by other people. It really gave me a chance to develop as a performer. Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.

The fame and the money and all that stuff that comes along with it is all great, but that's not the sole purpose of why I make music.

Hip-hop was started as a very egocentric, testosterone, machismo-driven art form. The way that people are trying to take away that masculinity that is a such an intrinsical part of hip-hop music.

I think what's wrong with the fashion world, particularly men's fashion, is the lack of creativity behind it.

The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint The greats were great because they paint a lot
