"god Loves All His Children" Is Somehow

You Have Major Labels That Are Willing To Take Unconventional Approaches Because The Old Model Is Crumbling In Front Of Us.

I See A Lot Of People Dressing Very Similarly, And I See Brands Being Cool Because Of Their Name And Because Of Who Wears The Brands, But That's Always Been The Case. That's Kind Of The History Of Fashion. You Know, Celebrities Wear Their Clothes And People Think These Celebrities Are Cool, And Then The Clothes Become Valuable. It Gives Clothes A Commodity Factor Once A Certain Individual Starts Wearing That Brand. But Do I Think There's Something Wrong? I Think What's Wrong With The Fashion World, Particularly Men's Fashion, Is The Lack Of Creativity Behind It.

The Trust That I Once Built Has Been Betrayed. But I'd Rather Live Tellin' The Truth And Be Judged For My Mistakes, Than Falsely Held Up, Given Props, Loved And Praised.

I Definitely Use "smiling While Rapping" As A Tool In The Booth. I Want To Have Fun While Recording. At Times It Can Get Tedious And Stressful When It's Not Sounding The Way You Heard It In Your Head, But You've Got To Remember To Just Smile And Appreciate The Fact That You're Even In The Booth And There Are People Who Want To Hear Your Art.

I Grew Up In The Spoken-word Community. Before Everybody Had A Home Studio, Or Before We Could Get Booked For Shows, Open Mics Were The Only Way To Be Heard By Other People. It Really Gave Me A Chance To Develop As A Performer. Reading A Piece Of Poetry With No Beat In Front Of 20 People Is Way More Challenging Than Rocking For 10,000 People.
