When I began rapping, I only had one form at my disposal. All I had, all I needed was a rhyme verse; sixteen bar, thirty-two bar, whatever it was. If I had an idea it came out as a rhyme. When I challenged myself to think beyond that, my first thing other than a rhyme that I wrote was a play.

If you ever feel comfortable in what you're producing, you've lost. You're not alive, that's it, it's stagnant water.

Never expect what you write to be any good, 'cause it's the fear of writing badly that stops you from finding the right words.

There's enough brackets put on us already, we don't need to bracket our creativity anymore than we do.

When you know a place, your feet have walked it so many times there's a comfort to it.

I live or die for hip-hop and it's a beautiful form but you're a writer first and foremost.

My point is is that if you are ever comfortable you're not growing and if, unless you are completely out of your depth, your creativity of whatever you are producing, you will never know how strong your stroke it.
