Now it seems like there is no culture. The school of fish are all separate. Everybody's just randomized, listening to their own thing in their earbuds... That's going to be the downfall of music, if anything. Nobody enjoys one thing anymore.

To be able to impress, you have to get to this middle ground where you're not too advanced so it goes over people's heads, and you're not too minimalist where people think you're just trying to rob the game and not stretch out.

I feel like if I'm not going to change the game or do something innovative, then I'm not motivated.

My forte is the music. But obviously if ya don't keep up with the business, then your kinda doing it for nothing. So I do plan on being well off doing, maximizing what I do now. I heard Jimmy Kimmel describe being in your thirties in hip-hop is like the equivalent to being 300 yrs. old; almost like a dinosaur.

I look down and see little kids in the audience and I'm like, "Oh man, I hope I'm not poisoning these kids!"

I don't think you should ever give up on trying to push the bar a little bit higher.

Nowadays you can't tell, watch the crotch, it may swell.
