I still think that if you're excited about something, you have to work at it.

Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don't normally use.

I still to this day get the most inspiration from rap lyrics.

I grew up listening to Jay-Z, and I think the first time I really became obsessed with learning and thinking about lyrics was when I started listening to rap; I was 11, 12, and started becoming aware of music beyond the familiar.

If kids and teenagers can get into a band, it's probably not because they think it's brainy.

Rapping and singing are not two polar opposites. There's so much middle ground. And I think there's a lot of people who find that middle ground.
