A lot of artists just put on the people they can make money off of.

I was a Air Force kid. I got out of high school and I decided to join the military. I traveled and I was international before I got home. I did my thing in Japan, and I did it on big stages.

I love pop music just as much as I like rap music, or ill-ass hip-hop music, or rock music.

The people in Atlanta, they're not really up on the blogs. A few people are, but it's not super crazy. In Atlanta it's still very much radio. When they hear it on the radio, that's what it is.

I've always traveled, man, so I'm always out and everywhere.

I'm not going to go in and get some hooks from some niggas who don't know me, or know what I'm about.

Me rapping over other people's beats doesn't mean as much as when Lil Wayne does it - no matter how hard I'm going in.
