“I usually do about five drafts per rhyme for each song.”

“I think, as an artist, the overall goal is to teach and educate no matter what the song is about. Somewhere where a listener can get something out of it, something that can give them help to move forward, help them learn something, analyze something in a different way, or think about something.”

“Rappers should sit down and construct quality lines.”

“I am such a rewriter; I have so many notebooks filled with drafts you wouldn't believe.”

“Whatever team drafts me, I'll be able to sit back and learn from the guy that's there and be able to compete with him and push him, but know that a guy's there because he's a veteran, he's done it before, he's professional.”

“First drafts are never any good - at least, mine aren't.”
