Just knowing how to rap doesn't necessarily mean that you're a good songwriter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just consider myself an artist. I don't really rap. I don't really sing. I just do what I feel is good, and people like it.
I haven't done rap... I can't do that too well.
I'm not really into rap.
You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.
When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.
I pay attention to lyrics and I know what rap fans care about. I try to write for the average listener and I'm conscious of the mainstream without selling out.
I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.
I've always been jealous of rappers, because they can fit so many words into a song and tell a story with lots of details. But when you're a songwriter, you have to fit the words to the melody and you can't fit as much in. I'm just a big fan of storytelling.
You don't have to be a good singer any more if you can rap well.
I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.
