I just wanted to do something that had some meaning that I can look back and be proud of, that my family can look back and be proud of.

I hate all the old pictures of me before 2010 - and they are always the first ones to come up. That's why I don't Google myself, man.

Everything I wanted to do was big. I feel like my music is big, the mark I'ma leave in this world is big, so I feel like that's the perfect name.

There are so many people with great work ethics that I've been around. I try and take the best qualities from the people I admire and apply it to my own self.

Instead of thinking about work the next day or thinking about what you have to do, if you live in the moment you'll have some of the best times of your life.

I'm really vulnerable onstage because it's just me. I'm not really trying to put up a front or act a certain way.

It has no color to it. If you can rap good, you can rap good. I look at Mac Miller, who’s one of my homies, and I look at Wiz Khalifa, who’s one of my homies, and I don’t look at Mac different because he’s white. He’s my homie.
