I don't even like New York rappers.

I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: "Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie." That was all hype.

If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she's got to take them off my feet and look inside.

So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.

[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.

I wouldn't mind collaborating with anybody, but I don't want to design anything, I'm not a fashion designer.

When Big Meech and everybody got indicted, hustling died. Keep it trill.
