I am not concerned about the 80 BMP consistency law of popular music. I'm concerned with other things, and they're very valid.

I'm not the kind of artist that wants to get a sound, refine it, and do it 'til I'm 50 so that it's the purest amber of my one way.

Whether it's just the career path of doing independent music, being an artist, however you want to pigeon-hole it, it creates a certain type of character.

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.

I'm not musically trained and I'm not all these other things. I'm creative with a keyboard and a drum machine, but I can't really make these perfect minimal musical executions - all the things that would be nice with all these refined poems.
