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.
Macklemore

Macklemore
My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.
Macklemore
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.

One man's trash that's another man's come up.
Macklemore
I don't write a great song every day. I don't write a great song every couple weeks. It comes in such random times.
Macklemore
The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint The greats were great because they paint a lot

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