        Probable answer: He took singing lessons in his youth and learned proper singing technique. However, getting this voice takes more effort than just speaking normally Funnier answer: this is actually his real voice, he just talks the other way because he thinks it sounds smart

        Fascinating how people who say this actually think they are saying something meaningful. Even if rap weren't "music," who cares? Is John Cage's 4'33" "music?" What about Milton Babbit's "Philomel" for soprano, recorded soprano, & synthesized tape? Who gives a flying fuck?
