Women seem to inspire lots of your music. Why?
I tend to rap about woman as if they are people. It’s novel idea, maybe it will catch on. Most guys treat woman like the princess in Mario Brothers – something to obtain, something to brag about, or something to use. I am not a feminist, much to some people’s disappointment, but I am an egalitarian. I believe in fairness. I like to hear people stories and understand the reason they do things, I try to capture that in my records. I had different examples of what a woman could be growing up and that shaped, how I viewed the world. My mother’s a loudmouth and has always been reckless, while my grandmother’s one of the few people I ever met who captures the spirit of Christianity; kindness, forgiveness, empathy and the ability to be content with what life has provided you. She always asked me to reach a little higher and try a little harder to reach for those ideals.
