I always try and tell dudes that are younger than me is that because of the Internet everyone can just be by themselves doing something, but the importance of a group is being able to have some sort of competition.

aspects entire good growing heard heavy house music people poetry rap shortcut word worst
I think rap music is rap music. I mean, are there heavy writing aspects of it? Absolutely. In a sense, is it poetry? Yeah. I've heard that so much, growing up in a house with poetry. But I think people like to use that as a shortcut for who's good and who's not. It's like the word 'lyrical' - 'lyrical' is the worst word in the entire world.
bunch good rather sort takes time trust
It takes me a long time to write, and I trust myself, so I write very sparsely, so when I do, I know it's good, you know what I mean? Rather than writing a whole bunch and having to sort out what's good and what's not.

My friends have to remind me that it's OK to own the fact that you're good at something. I think it'll just come with getting older.
At the end of the day, I'm not some evil guy.

Sometimes videos make a bad song very tight.

People think artists like 50 Cent don't have charisma, but it's just a different kind of charisma, a bully charisma, which is kinda frowned upon.

You get committed with what you put in songs. It made me wary of who and what I include, because that's there forever.

"Sunday" was the best one I think I made.
