I feel like people mislead themselves when they tell themselves they're into me because of the lyrics. From my vantage point, people aren't into me because of the content, because of the lyrics. Because there's a million of rappers who have great content.

I don't feel comfortable making empty music.

Being called a conscious rapper is quite a compliment. It's a great thing to be. But as an artist, my nature is to not be in a box.

There just needs to be a gay rapper who's better than everybody. That's when that question will no longer be able to be asked.

I'm not looking to set a standard... but, I believe I have offered a challenge to others with my work.

Life without knowledge is death in disguise.

What's more condescending and corny than someone telling you how much more money they have than you and telling you basically, 'I don't care about poor people,' which is a large part of what you hear of corporate hip-hop on the radio.
