“I don’t wanna see people demean one another for no reason when they can have a phone conversation. Especially when they’re actually successful musicians, not like a thing. There is battle rap. I am a fan of that, but as far as the spitefulness of it, ’cause battle rappers are actually like all friends, for the most part, and they write about it, and have fun, and talk about it on Facebook later. It’s real f*cking cute, but all that other sh*t they can get the f*ck out of here. That sh*t is corny as f*ck. It’s like, ‘I’m gonna say really hurtful things about you for the sake of hip-hop. Oh.’”
