I think history is very interesting. It's a series of seemingly unrelated events spread across the globe that all lead to this moment right now. Everything in history has somehow helped create the current moment. The present is only proof that the past happened. I think it's amazing.

I think the advancement of computer technology in the past 15 years has been almost indescribable. 15 years ago was 1999. The difference between the best computer technology of 1999 and the best computer technology of 2014 is a mind blowing comparison. Y2K threatened computers everywhere back in...

Religious education is sort of important to me. I believe understanding the religions of the world allows a greater understand of the world in general. You can tell a lot about a region of the world by what they believed religiously. Religious education gives great insight.

The strange thing about music is that it's a lot more math than you'd think. Rapping is a lot more math-intensive as well. I produce music and chopping samples and implementing different patterns requires you to really pay attention to the musical timing of what you're doing. And rapping is just...

My high school was PC-based, but the film department (of which I was a member) was all Apple. So we had a ton of Mac computers all situated in our building. It actually made us feel kind of bad at one point. Other departments could barely afford paint, but we spent about half a million dollars...
