Everyone's like sheep on social media; like, one person starts making noise, and everyone's like, 'Hey, yeah!' and then you got a whole bunch of people making noise at you.

Odd Future's like a network as opposed to like a rap group.

At the end of the day, I'm not some evil guy.

I think rap music is rap music. I mean, are there heavy writing aspects of it? Absolutely. In a sense, is it poetry? Yeah. I've heard that so much, growing up in a house with poetry. But I think people like to use that as a shortcut for who's good and who's not. It's like the word 'lyrical' - 'lyrical' is the worst word in the entire world.

It takes me a long time to write, and I trust myself, so I write very sparsely, so when I do, I know it's good, you know what I mean? Rather than writing a whole bunch and having to sort out what's good and what's not.

At first, I was just trying to sound like DOOM and Eminem, and then I dug out my own voice, I guess.

Sometimes videos make a bad song very tight.

People think artists like 50 Cent don't have charisma, but it's just a different kind of charisma, a bully charisma, which is kinda frowned upon.

Miscommunication is the number one cause of all problems; communication is your bridge to other people. Without it, there's nothing. So when it's damaged, you have to solve all these problems it creates.

All rappers are princesses like me.

Whatever I think the song sounds like is what I'll name it. It's a feeling thing; it's not logical at all.

It would be ridiculous to say I don't want to sell records, but I trust my taste.

Twitter is a real addiction, like the color of it, the process of it.

Lil B opened up the floodgates for Odd Future, and now rap has a huge Internet culture.

SK La'Flare's a legend. It was me, him and Vince, and Frank would come through sometimes and s - - and he was, like, fully rapping. N - - s was on it.

My friends have to remind me that it's OK to own the fact that you're good at something. I think it'll just come with getting older.
Thebe Neruda Kgositsile -
It just happens to be that people like to associate poetry and rap music. I think that idea is kind of corny.
Thebe Neruda Kgositsile -
Rapping is the only time I'm serious.

In a world where like everyone's so accessible now, to say something new in an article that you can't find out about a n--- through his Twitter or like Googling him or some s--- is rare. Just like how a good song is rare.

I've been awkward forever. I have really low expectations for myself. When I do perform to some sort of social standard, I leave feeling really comfortable. I'm either so awkward that I look retarded or I'm so awkward that everyone else feels retarded.

I've been YouTube surfing a lot lately so I'll Shazam a song that I find or some s - - and type that in on YouTube and just go through all the relateds for it. So it's been a lot of random jazz s - - lately. Like I found Lonnie Liston Smith, and Ahmad Jamal, s - - like that. So that's been very tight.

When I got home, I was trying to figure out how to be home. Like, be home in a sense that had nothing to do with music.
Thebe Neruda Kgositsile -
You get committed with what you put in songs. It made me wary of who and what I include, because that's there forever.
Thebe Neruda Kgositsile -
Touring with the record out - shows are so much more fun now that n - - s know what I'm talking about.
