You're not going to hit it every single time, and that's why, when I record an album, I do probably close to 50 songs. Each song I record has to get better. If it's not better than the last song that I made, it'll usually linger for a couple of months, and then it'll be put on the backburner, and then there'll be another song that I do, and then it often doesn't make it on the album.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.

The reality is you do not know exactly what is likely to occur tomorrow. Lifetime can be a ridiculous trip, and practically nothing is confirmed.

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

In my mind I'ma fighter, my heart's a lighter, my soul is the fluid. My flow sparks it right up.

It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it's all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.
