You have to constantly redefine who you are.

There has been an effect of business rap on the output of today's rap music. But I don't think that's the modern day rapper's fault.

I think people were genuinely addicted to hip hop in the 90s, addicted to the idea of empowerment. I think it came from [the fact that] the rappers in the 90s, their parents coming from the 70s, had such a rich variety of records to sample.

With homogenized culture, even if you feel frustrated, you'd have to write a Taylor Swift song to get heard.

I feel like a mirror reflecting back everyones perception of me.

Art is supposed to be about creativity. But the same people are the same art darlings every month, and it's a bit annoying. It's supposed to be diverse and interesting and conceptual and have weird concepts in a comfortable place.

I'd be very controversial if I said why, and I don't do controversial anymore. That's too passé. So last year. Being controversial is boring now.
