You could be Top 5 on iTunes, but for people to buy an album, they've got to have a connection with an artist. Every time I bought someone's album, it was about the connection. I was loving everything, from their raps to their style. I wanted to meet them.
I do lots of weird voices and I kind of act out my raps. That's something that's always been in me.
Street's disciple, my raps are trifle. I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle.
It just gets old when you hear a million raps about how many ways I could shoot you.
It was dope to the point where I felt like Common almost admired me as much as I admired him. He took us to the hotel, and then he was going through his phone, rapping his raps to me. I was like, Is Common rapping to me right now, trying to get my feedback?
I personally respect Bobby. He does really well on stage. Although I don't think his raps are exceptional or that he has a wide spectrum, his ability to dominate the stage is good, and he has a cool style of hip-hop that rappers aren't able to achieve.
I throw raps that attack like the Japs on Pearl Harbor. MC's be out like bank robbers, Fleeing the scene, to be a sole survivor; DJ. . . the getaway driver.
I like my raps but I'm never too happy with some of 'em because I feel like they could be better. But every time I hear my flow on that song I wow myself.
I'm not complicated at all. I say raps that your two-year-old son can learn.
Just because someone raps, doesn't mean that's all they can do. A lot of people are multi-talented.
I`m lucky in that in my character in hip hop is me. I`m Michael Render. My character is Killer Mike. But the truth that I sing in my raps align themselves with the policy of Bernie Sanders.
In hip-hop, there's not a lot of love. There's not a lot of love being spread. It's always like 'I'm stuntin' on you raps, or I'm better than you raps. ' It's not a lot of 'Yo man, I idolize you raps. '
Everyone who raps isn't hip-hop. To be hip-hop, you've got to know the culture. You got to know the history.
The beats are like scripts, and the raps are my monologue.
