“I write in the booth and memorize in rehearsals.” — Killer Mike Quote

I write in the booth and memorize in rehearsals.

Atlanta is unique to me. You got poor black people, but I also saw this: I saw black doctors, lawyers, educators. All you gotta do is want to be it to see it, and once you see something, it can be a reality.

Black people need to share collective dollars and demand equal representation, and the way you do that is by controlling their own economy and putting money behind candidates.

I have white friends who have the Confederate flag on their license plates, and I have no issue with that if they see that as a matter of heritage. But I do not think it should ever fly over a state, city, county building, or school, for the simple reason that it represents secession from the Union.

When I'm not in the booth, I'm one of the most laid-back guys. But growing up, I liked DMX, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and T.I. - dudes that went all out on the track. My first songs were energetic because I liked their energy.

When you have power, that's your confessional booth - you can go in there and confess and be cleaned of all sins. If the fight isn't going your way, but you land a big punch, the fight is different from that point on.

They built these little tanning booths for Brooke and I to do nothing but lay down and tan all over.

I don't write; I just go in the booth.

I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.
