Just scribbling rhymes down all the time. So you said somewhere that you sucked at school. Okay. Well, let's step back a little bit. So I had this amazing journalism course in ninth grade.

And the teacher was named Calvin Shaw. And he was just like... I ended up taking his class all four years. And he used to let me actually leave school. I didn't like going to school. So he'd let me basically go around Seattle and do different interviews with people as long as I could come back by the end of the day and write a story for his class. And he'd mark me as present.
