Kendrick Lamar is 10-times the rapper I am, but I just feel I'm the best at getting my own point across.

I have no history with 4chan.

I don't think any other place puts out music with no promise of success and still works like Baltimore.

I'm not some patriot. I didn't have some yearning to defend my country or anything. I was poor.

Either people cling to the past and refuse to advance their ways, or they're always looking to future and not appreciating what's in front of them right now.

The intention behind 'Prone!' was to make a punk song with no instruments.

I don't want anyone to expect anything from me. I just want them to know that I'm gonna put 1,037% into whatever I do. If I tell you I'm gonna release a folk/reggae/country album, just know at bare minimum there's gonna be 1,010% put into it.

The first thing I ever put on the Internet was actually a beat tape, but the first thing I ever put on where I was rapping was called 'Generation Y,' and it was hella political.

I don't have a manager who's secretly on Interscope. I'm the complete opposite of an industry plant.
