As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.

Rapping and singing are not two polar opposites. There's so much middle ground. And I think there's a lot of people who find that middle ground.

If kids and teenagers can get into a band, its probably not because they think its brainy.

I still to this day get the most inspiration from rap lyrics.

But you know what? When I die, everybody is invited to come take a selfie at my funeral. Except for my enemies. They're not invited to the funeral, period.

It's cool to have instruments lying around because they give you different ideas.

I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like 'Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song,' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.
