I'm Not More Or Less Conscious Than

My Partner Has To Have Good Sized Bones.

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.

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 Think That There Will Always Be Artists Out There Who Think They Need To Sign A Major Label Deal In Order To Be Successful. And That Machine Is What Is Going To Work For Them - There's Tons Of Examples Of Pop Stars Who Need That Machine.
