I don't consider myself a gangsta rapper. But I'm probably more qualified to be a gangsta rapper than people who call themselves that. I've been through that life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Gangsta rap' is a derogatory label.
I'm not a rapper.
I'm not really a rapper!
I'm an entertainer, so in whatever form I entertain... The thing about being a rapper is that you have more control over your form, whereas with acting you have to compromise a lot.
I'm not just a rapper. I'm an entertainer. That's the difference.
People don't really call me a rapper. They call me Mr. 'Trap Queen'. The 'Trap Queen' Guy.
I'm not really gangsta. Not at all. I just write about them. It's fun to pretend, at least on paper. But in real life, not so much.

I don't think any gay dude is gangsta, period.
I'm obviously not a rapper, and I don't have any claims to be one, really.
