If I do become more successful, either as a producer or a rapper, I'm going to do everything I can to help whoever I can on the label.
My grades put me in about 5,000th place in all of South Korea. If I kept going down that path, I would've become a successful man with a regular job. However, I was positive I'd be number one in the country as a rapper. So I asked my mother whether she wanted to have a son who was a first-place rapper, or a 5,000th-place student.
Essentially, whoever is successful, whoever is going to do things that make a difference, is going to be talked about.
We are all people... don't label me as an LGBT rapper or a female rapper... I don't like to be labeled.
I believe that whoever is successful should help ensure that the next generation can be successful, too.
I think I'm a whole lot to handle. I definitely am, on every aspect. I'm the video director. I'm the graphics designer. I'm the rapper. I'm the visionary. I'm the music producer. I'm the executive producer. I'm just going to end it off to be poetic: I'm the future of music.
THE MORE PEOPLE YOU HELP BECOME SUCCESSFUL, THE MORE SUCCESSFUL YOU BECOME.
I definitely need to do everything I can to help whoever is going to catch the ball.
I don't think I really knew I was going to be a rapper until sixth grade. Even then, it was still kind of - I was in sixth grade. I was always saying I was going to become a rapper.
There was a time in the '90s where, as an African-American man, you had to be a misogynistic R&B star or a rapper, and I didn't fit into either one of those. I was advised by my label to remain closeted at that time.
The more successful you become, the more known you become, everything you say is minutely scrutinised a lot.
I don't think of myself as a producer. In television, it's part of the business - if you progress and become successful as a writer, you're called a writer-producer. What that means is that you have a lot of say in casting and behind-the-scenes stuff. But I'm just a writer.
Regardless of what happens, I want to be part of a successful England team and if I have to swallow my pride and disappointment at not being the number one, then I've got to do that for us to be successful and obviously to help whoever is in goal perform at their best.
I'm still a hip-hop producer. I never put a label on what I can do as a producer or a DJ.
Everything is a tradeoff. Everywhere you leave, you leave some good things. The more successful you are, the harder it is to make tradeoffs. That's why some people become successful and then become flat. Be willing to give up income for potential, for opportunity.
The more extreme the story, the more successful it becomes. Emotions on high, empathy engaged, we become primed to help.
The more I help out, the more successful I become. But I measure success in what it has done for the people around me. That is the real accolade.
