My music should fall under fair use because it's transformative, it's becoming its own entity, and it's not negatively impacting anyone's sales.

I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.

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 want to make new and interesting music out of pop music in a way that isn't ironic. I want to stay sincere to the source material but at the same time manipulate it and take it to a new world.

With rap music, there are billions and billions of samples that are uncleared that people have never been bothered about on an underground level.

You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, "It's the end of music." "This guy is a total hack." I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.

When you're playing for 30 people and you're jumping around stage, screaming, getting in peoples faces and acting cocky you're kind of poking fun at yourself.
