I've always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity.

I can deal with all the pangs of having to find money in 20 different places because you don't really reap the whirlwind with this cutting-edge music.

That was how I got into music and art was being a battle kid from Jersey, so I didn't have these wonderful ways of learning commitment, dedication, practicing skill.

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

I change my direction, I can't even help it. It's sort of like the fortune and misfortune of being a rapper.

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'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.
