I listened to Lil Wayne a lot when I was kid.
My influences, going back through the history of rap, talk about Doug E. Fresh, Kool Moe D, Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy.
When I came out rapping on my record, a lot of people said, Oh, you just want to be like Puff.
Rap is no longer a pastime; this is a worldwide profession.
Lil B opened up the floodgates for Odd Future, and now rap has a huge Internet culture.
To me, rap music is bigger than who's the coolest rapper, the biggest rapper. It's everything about your personality.
Serious rap music puts me to sleep.
Rappers were my storytellers.
I grew up around it. That was what my friends were listening to - some of my closest friends are big hip-hop fans.
