When you grow up and you start having all these problems and your little sister gets pregnant, you're dealing with all these money problems and bills and the company, you ain't going to want to talk about that. Or maybe you will, but me personally, I just can't do that.

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

Every now and then, I might listen to music, but I try not to listen to it too much because when you turn on the radio and hear the same song over and over again. You won't appreciate it as much; it won't be as fresh.

A moment will pass, but a movement will last.

It would be crazy for me to come out now talking about selling drugs and doing all this stuff I never did for the sake of A&R or records or trying to keep the street buzz or whatever.

If you're a humble person, and you walk in, and you start talking, people are going to be able to tell. You can't fake it.

I kind of grew up and started maturing.
