When anybody pays you to be creative, you're very lucky.

I don't even think I'm that good at rapping, but I think what makes a great rapper - what CAN make a great rapper - is someone who wants to be better.

I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do.

You know who was on time tonight, which surprised me? Ghostface. Ghostface was early and making calls - what rapper does that?

I feel like... I don't have a wife, I don't have a kids, but... I see rappers and I'm like, I know that's fake. I know how much you make, this is all bullshit. But people are buying into it, and you shouldn't have that power. I'm legit trying to make honest moves so that all of us can grow. I want to make a show where my sister can work on and become a producer because she can't get in, no one's leting her. I want to make things where people can actually grow. A place where people can actually be honest.

If you like strange, specific stuff - that's a nerd. Kanye West is a black nerd. He likes strange, specific stuff. If you go up to Kanye West and say, 'Hey, what are your favorite things?' He'll be like, 'Robots and teddy bears.' That's a nerd.

Kept looking for something to be in with. Follow someone's blueprint. But you have to be on your own.
