You used to have to beg and be the busboy to do standup. I got on Community because people saw my videos on YouTube, which were free.

Don't be mad cuz I'm doing me better than you doing you.

I try to be me to the utmost.

I think the best music videos are the ones that have nothing to do with the song. Those are all my favorites.

It seems the more I try to connect with the world, I am feeling more alone than I ever have felt before

Black culture is a fight. We want to hold on to what we are, but sometimes the things that we are can be totally negative. You have to think: can't we try something new and not be seen as suspect?

I hope a kid listens to my stuff, I hope there's a change made and at least somebody walks away with: "I'm doing this because I like it." People are going to hate it and that's okay, but I have to do it because my happiness is important too, it's worth it.
