I'm at best on stage. It's one of the only places where I actually can feel like a million bucks.

With freestyling it's not about "Say something funny!" That has nothing to do with it. It's about becoming quicker on your feet and knowing that your entire day can go into your rap if you're on it.

I love the inappropriateness of age-old wisdom in modern slang. These things are all so wonderful to me.

You can always find the sample that covers what you're hearing, but barely...it allows me to really concentrate on words.

A lot of artists make art for five years, some artists make art for ten years, a few make art for fifteen: very few do it until they die.

I've been writing a lot about just the aspects of luck and being picked, and how of course it's always how one perceives themselves in the world, as a bit of a scapegoat or a bit of a hero. Everyone generally has about a 60/40 split that volleys, between those two.

I wonder a lot about making things meaningful. You want to do meaningful work and make art, but you're making records, which is good, but you don't want to weight them - it's a very curious thing.
