Writing rap songs is about flow, about one word blending seamlessly into the next and creating a thing that is possible to perform in a way that feels natural.

There's this thing about authenticity when you rap, right? Whether or not it's real, it has to feel real.

What writing a poem really does - and what figuring how to perform effectively really does - is forces people to listen to you. It frames your thoughts in such a way that grabs people's attentions and forces them to hear the things that you're actually saying.

The tricky thing about fast raps is not really the delivery of them; it's the writing of them, with consonants close enough together that you don't trip up over them.

Acting is about finding truth and finding the way to convey the truth.

That's the great thing about being a teenager. You think you're a genius.
