“It's funny because as a rapper, there is - and this is something that Clipping challenges all the time - there is this idea about authenticity as a rapper, in the fact that you rap things that are yours. That's not what doing a play is. You're interpreting somebody else's words.”

“The fact that rap has a strict meter and stays to a click means that you have to make your thoughts concise.”

“There's a lot of spaces that care about what kids are buying. There are a lot of spaces that care about what kids are watching. But there aren't a lot of spaces that care about what kids are saying.”

“I respond to authenticity and originality, and I've been a fan of Don Winslow's ever since 'The Power Of The Dog.'”

“Think about Kennedy. Think about Carter. Think about Clinton. Think about Obama. They've all been in their forties and from outside Washington, or underdogs in one way or another. I just think that Americans are looking everywhere, saying, 'Hey, show me some authenticity. Show me somebody who's practical. Show me people who run things.'”

“If I could say anything to anybody out there thinking of creating their own content is to always, always, come from a place of authenticity.”
