I might tell a story about somebody else, but I don't sit there and do a story about somebody snitching on me selling coke because people know I didn't sell coke. So I just try to keep it real but still try to do it in a creative way.

If nobody wants to buy your album, who's going to buy your clothes?

A moment will pass, but a movement will last.

If I asked you something about basketball and you don't really know about basketball and you try to talk it and fake it, I'm going to be able to tell. It's the same way about music; you have to be real.

The visual is everywhere in the streets, but in the industry, it's like you have to show up at this party and you can't take on the world in one day. It's a gradual process, but you can't let it frustrate you; you just have to keep grinding.

I just try to be more creative and come with something new because I actually care about the music.

It just gets old when you hear a million raps about how many ways I could shoot you.
