I've never had issues with popularity. I was always a popular guy... I've always had friends and loved ones and everything so it wasn't like 'Oh man I gotta fill some void that was left by high school.' I had a great high-school experience.
I don't think rap really fits in to 'American Idol' in the sense that I believe rap is an art form in itself more akin to poetry more akin to drama if you will.
