I experience so many different things that the world has to offer every day.
Like everyone does.
We just have experiences and mine's definitely are different from everyone else because that's
my individuality.
But it doesn't matter that it's happening to me unless I speak about it, you know?
I've been loved ‘I Might Need Security.’
That’s one of my favorite standups just ‘cause I love Jamie Foxx.
And I finally decided to throw it on the MPC one day.
What's funny is like when I originally thought of sampling it, you know it’s like, “Fuck you."
"Oh, fuck you, fuck you.”
And I just pictured it like a turnt up song.
When we made the drums, I made it with Smoko.
It was just like a little bit of a swing to it that made it more like real hip-hop.
I don't know, just more like I should be rapping on this shit.
I do be working on things in the city with real activists, like real people that have
given their lives to the movement.
Not like saying in death but just saying that's who they are.
I’m not in the same realm as them.
I don’t have the dedication and the resolve to do it the way that they do it.
I was big into ‘Boy Meets World.’
Shout out Cory yo.
Shout out Topanga.
Shawn was my favorite character.
That’s the best friend yo.
My dad since I was a shorty, like he used to always say, “You can’t be a nice guy."
"You gotta be a good guy.”
Like sometimes niggas need they ass beat.
Sometimes, shit happens, you know?
The Illuminati can’t get at me.
They can’t touch me.
They can’t do shit.
Like I’ve already won.
Two times over.
Three times as a matter of fact.
I've seen a bunch of crazy shit growing up, obviously,
in Chicago.
People, since I was a kid, have always talked to me like I felt more mature.
And not even just more mature but just like… older.
So Rahm is the mayor of Chicago.
Yeah he just doesn’t need to be mayor anymore.
He’s closed I think over a hundred schools in Chicago, tried to hide and settle the Laquan
McDonald tapes when he was murdered by the police.
I just really hope that he’s not actually gonna run again ‘cause it’s over for his ass yo.
It’s over for his ass.
Crain’s wanted to do a story on us.
My schedule just kept fucking up the interview and at a certain point, I actually just cut
off the interview.
There was like a Crain’s story that came out that I was purchasing this crib and it
was unlisted but they had pictures of the inside of my house and all types of stuff
so it was just like a huge invasion of privacy.
Why the fuck would you do that?
The Rauner business, that’s the governor.
Governor Rauner.
I just think he got his buddies to take a piece that probably was gonna be…
If it was already a made up piece, they didn’t ask somebody to write about it, they took
it and they blew it up and put it on the front cover.
I purchased the Chicagoist actually not to run racist bitches out of business.
Really, I bought it to provide more jobs for black and brown people in the city as writers
at a high profile publication.
I don’t know why but white dudes, they tend to pat me on my back really hard or talk to
me about the community in a really condescending way.
It’s shit that we deal with that’s not always physical violence or systematic oppression.
Sometimes, it’s just this very emotional racism that comes through in conversations
and when you meet people.
They do wanna convince you that you need as many partners as possible and that you are
better off, especially as a male, with your individuality and your singleness.
Like that that’s some type of strength but like, the truth is you not gonna get no stronger
than when you find your counterpart.
Artistically, I wanna build on music and create ideas that
are influenced by the greatest things.
As a man, I want to build on the kingdom of the Lord.
I am a soldier for that shit.
That’s me.
