It just happens to be that people like to associate poetry and rap music. I think that idea is kind of corny.

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.

I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.

No, I can't do rap music!

Odd Future's like a network as opposed to like a rap group.

Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
