Eminem was the biggest rapper in the world, but I didn't know Eminem and I didn't know anybody who knew Eminem.

I just remember I wanted to make my own dynasty and not keep following trends. I wanted to make my own.

Man the life of a workaholic... You either on ya work or just workin on it.

I feel like I changed hip-hop.

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

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.

You live and you learn, man. I've learned you can't wait on anybody. You have to raise your awareness yourself.
