I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I'm so stoked my life panned out how it was.
Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids... I didn't have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that's what I gravitated to.
I tweet early in the morning when I wake up or late at night just to let you know that I have a show or what's on my mind, and that's it. I hate Snapchat and all of that. It's making kids so stupid.
I'm hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That's my main goal.
Usually, when I'm rappin', I'm creating a big story or a concept song that sounds like a movie to me.
Somebody called me a homophobe. I'm not homophobic.
My lyrics aren't offensive. Some people find everything offensive.
To me, Sid Vicious is cool. Super chill.
I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.
Hawthorne sucks... It's a crazy place, and I'm happy that I was the weird one that got out.
I don't like being put in a box. I just make music, you know?
I'm not into fashion, but I like design. I wear the same shoes every day.
I really want to sing, but my tone of voice is really too deep to do what I want.
Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.
