I think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.

I wear what I like to wear, I don't pick out clothes to try to fit in or whatever, I just like what I like.

When you put a tour together you really just think about who you'd like on your bill, who would make sense and who you would want to live with basically for a couple months and be around with and work with.

Never give up and never conform.

In anything I do I try to stay true to myself because I think that's what matters most, and then the challenge is getting all these different sides of my personality to fit together in one box. It isn't an easy task. But that's basically what the end result represents.

I didnt grow up around all white people; I never wanted to gentrify hip-hop, Ive never wanted to speak to an all-white audience.

I suppose sometimes the lack of privacy can be a little hard to deal with at times.
