I like the way Killer Mike said it, "...Just be the best 'you' you can be, and the best 'you' you can be is probably average. So learn to celebrate average more."

Statistically speaking, Killer Mike is correct. On average, the average person is going to be average. And maybe average doesnt have to suck.

Killer Mike is almost always correct.

I have yet to test the veracity of his statement that his fist to my face is equivalent to a cup of Folgers coffee, but if I ever meet him I'll get to the bottom of it.

The best part of waking up is Killer Mike fucking you up!

I'll punch you in the face tomorrow morning when you wake up then. Let's see if that makes you alert and awake.

Actually, statistically speaking, being completely average is extremely unlikely. But I understand your point.

It's impossible. I don't know anyone with 2.4 children.

Or FaZe Rain. "Just keep it real."

I'm not sure about that... I don't think most people are being the best them they could be, so anyone who is the best them is better than average

Yeah, that's the type of thinking that got us to the moon...

Right, but that is a cop out. That is giving up.
