In my heart, I know I'm just as talented as some of my idols.

It's cool to have a personal relationship with someone who's your idol. Someone whose music you used to constantly listen to, when you were hoping you could make it one day.

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.

I hate when any rapper would just use "Rapper X" because "Rapper X" is hot at the time and put them on the record. That's not how I do my thing. I work with my friends and people I consider fam.

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 don't need no extra hands in my pocket.

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