Musician

There just hasn't been a voice for that normal dude when it comes to rap.

I care most about what rappers think about me as a rapper, and I've gotten a lot of praise. I think rappers understand I'm a really good rapper, and that means more to me than a random person, you know, 'cause they know what goes into making rap music.

I was a business major at the University of Richmond, and after I graduated, I took a job at a corporate ad agency. I had comedic dreams, but I also had a realistic look at what I had to do when I left school: maybe I'm funny, but maybe I'm one of a hundred thousand funny people, you know?

I love rap, and part of hip-hop culture is being excessive and absurd, and I can't be excessive and absurd without sounding corny. So I have to do it in a very truthful, weird way.

I really don't spend my money that much unless I'm reinvesting in my business.

I think my TV show is gonna be my big thing, so I'm pretty focused on that, and I think doing that will lead to all of the other opportunities I want, to jump to movies and other stuff, but it starts with that.

I wanted to explain that just because I'm rapping in this funny way doesn't mean that I'm not worthy of actually being evaluated as a rapper.

I think, between me and Chris Brown, if you combined our games, you'd get, like, a real Division I basketball player.

The thing is, I was never really a comedian - a comedian would scoff at the notion of me as a comedian because I've never done anything, really. I've always just been some guy who's funny.

I spent two years making music in San Francisco for my first mixtape. Initially, I was not at all doing this to be a professional rapper, a touring rapper. I didn't think I had that talent level in me.

I have never been more physically tired than after that first song of my first concert.

If we're evaluating cool to the way other rappers appear to be cool, then I'm not cool at all.

By putting this music out, I think I genuinely eliminated 80 percent of the previous jobs I was qualified for.

Obviously, my aspirations are to be considered one of the best. Like, anyone rapping should have that mindset.

People see a 'South Park' episode, and there's racially insensitive jokes - nobody bats an eye because they're expecting that in that context. In hip-hop, they don't expect that kind of thing because it's a white person in a predominantly black world.

I'm pretty self-aware, and I am an embarrassingly flawed human being in a ton of ways.

I feel like the Philadelphia sports teams are really good at having my back.

I think people just have to realize that music grows, and hip-hop evolves. I mean, everything evolves.

My whole initial goal was to be a comedian, so it's not like I chose to do a TV show out of nowhere. It's kind of always been goal to do a TV show.

I'm not ever going to stop rapping. I love rap.
