Black men struggle with masculinity so much. The idea that we must always be strong really presses us all down - it keeps us from growing.

But I just think I was lucky enough to figure out early on that I wanted to do comedy, so that's what I put all my effort into.

Also, I realized a lot of kids are listening to me. Whether I want to be or not, they're looking up to me.

You have to be real with yourself. No one is doing that. People are too concerned with making everything look nice and calm and pretty.

Girls are supposed to dance. That's why god gave them parts that jiggle.

I don't even think I'm that good at rapping, but I think what makes a great rapper - what CAN make a great rapper - is someone who wants to be better.

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?
