I was just doing it for fun. I was in college recording music as a joke, so I really didn't think that a career was feasible - being able to travel.

I think what's keeping me making music - the money is great, but I make music for the visibility.

I want to be respected as a writer and, like I said, I was really sick of people saying I was a two dimensional character. I want more to my legacy, I guess.

It may look like things have gotten better, because everyone is semi-being appreciative. Not appreciative, but conscious of people being gender fluid and all those things.

I do realize that I have a talent for making music. It wasn't anything expected, but I do think it's deserved, if that makes sense.

For you to be able to rap fast and fit many words into a bar, that's what rap is about, the showmanship. That's the thing we're kind of losing now. I'm not saying that the music now is horrible. I mean, I don't listen to it. The showmanship and creativity in rap is what made it special and what made it different.

I don't know [whether] if I didn't get paid, or my career didn't keep going where it goes, if I would keep doing music.
