“The only reason I can’t say [is because] I feel like they all rapping about the same thing and I don’t think they’re showing us who’s the best rapper. I think they’re trying to show… for me… um, it’s like strippers rapping.”

“As far as rap goes, I’m not getting who is the best rapper. I’m getting, like, OK; you got a story about you dancing in the club, you got a story about you dancing in the club, you got a story about you dancing in the club. OK, all right. [But] who’s gonna be the rapper?”
