It was just cool to see my friends so inspired, and I'm by no means the biggest rapper in the world, but I'm on my way up. I feel like I'm going to keep going and delivering good music every time. It was cool to show people that it's real to do what you want to do.

I ended up getting a lion chain. I had to make my own mascot - I want to start my own dynasty eventually.

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.

Gettin' dressed up for court, that's a law suit

My mom keeps me going, man. She deserves such a good life. I just wanna give it to her. My dad, too. My family, my friends, they keep me motivated. Just knowing my personal legend, just knowing what I'm supposed to do, that keeps me going.

I feel like when you're a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you're a real person.

Notorious B.I.G. was one of my favorites. I started getting into hip-hop around the Bad Boy era.
