I legitimately wanted to know if Mayor Bloomberg was going to ban large margaritas that I cry over while on a date alone at Dallas BBQ as a part of his controversial soda ban.
From Awkwafina
My mom passed away when I was 4 years old, and she came from a very conservative Korean background. I feel like my life would've been incredibly different had she still been alive.
I like to make songs that are based on concepts.
I started with me as Awkwafina reciting 'Othello' monologues, and I'd send those to my friends. It started like that, and then it went into more music-y stuff.
I started by producing, and the rapping came second to that, because I wanted to fill out the beat.
I studied my craft at the same place as Nicki Minaj.
I grew up two train stops from where A Tribe Called Quest grew up, and one stop from Nas.
I am American. If you drop me in Seoul, I don't think I'm going to thrive there.
Rap was started by black people and, thus, is at the foundation of black culture. So people cannot always wrap their minds around someone like me being inspired by it. But if you listen to the things we're saying, they're authentically us.
When I went to college, it became more of a hobby, and that's when I think I got the realest music education. It wasn't something that I had to do. It wasn't an obligation.
