You can write very obtuse and abstract lyrics, and if they want to, people are going to find something amazing that you're saying.

I feel like there's always something to prove.

KRS-One is one of my favorite rappers ever. I actually don't even know why I have this on my computer, but I do. I really like this album, Criminal Minded.

I didn't change much in terms of my setup or how I was making my music. It's evolved to this point where I think people look at it as one big traveling party.

A lot of artists are used to their music being reused online and have come to accept and embrace it. You have a generation who go on YouTube and remake and remix music online all the time. They remake and upload songs and videos, and then other people remake the remakes; it just keeps going.

That's something I've always been down with: creative commons and people being able to license their music and allow other people to reuse it and recycle it.

It's rare when I feel like I can extract a lyrical message out of combining two things together.
