The rap game without me would be like woofers without bass.
I'm not tryin' to come off as the best lyricist.
I love rapping. I do. My styling's similar to Missy Elliott - I think she's so dope. In a weird way, that's how I first learned the American accent: doing American rap songs.
I knew I wanted to be a rapper when I was, like, 5.
I'm an urban act.
I'm an excellent dancer. I keep up with whatever's hot. I've been break-dancing and pop-locking since back in the day.
I learned to MC over drum 'n' bass music.
I never knew anything about rapping.
Rap - it's a childhood passion. Writing rhymes, it's something that I was doing before rap records even existed. And I will continue to write until I can't write anymore.
People compare me to Kendrick. I've seen comparisons with Jay-Z, with Nas, with Chance The Rapper. I get a lot of Eminem comparisons.
I was always interested in skateboarding, BMX bike riding, flipping, gymnastics. Anything with tumbling, turning, twisting, and extreme sports.
I was not an athlete, but I was a break-dancer. I was a beatboxer, an entertainer.
Rap is only one end of a whole spectrum of verbal play and virtuosity. Rap is geared for aural pleasure.
I've always been a spontaneous singer. And all the stuff that you hear on the end of the songs, what they call the ad libs - that just comes out of my head. That's not thought out at all. I have the verses and the choruses, and then after that it's total improvisation.
Ever since I was a kid I've been rapping.
I'm not completely at ease at rapping, I can't do it well yet.
I used to MC a bit when I was young - 14 or 15 years old.
Nobody wants to hear me rap.
I'm not rapping, I'm conversing. It's just a conversation between me and you.
I think everybody has their own inner rap spirit animal.
No, I can't do rap music!
When I first started rapping, I used to just jock Jay Z super hard. Back when I was like 14 and 15, it was, like, Jay Z, Ice Cube, and Lil Wayne.
I used to dance around, I used to sing a lot, I remember, and beat box.
I never write. Never! I do not even remember if I can write … This is a true freestyle in general. I put a beat, I said some stuff, I retain ideas, I do it again, with a particular intonation, I test, and especially I record live.
I don't write; I just go in the booth.
