They be starin at the money like it's unfamiliar

Since I started, I've always been giving my music away for free. I've always kind of done it for the people. I don't want to lose my fans completely because they support me in a way that's more than just listening to my music. They support me like we're friends. They support me like they have emotions invested in it.

Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc.

I write best about two things, which is evident from the cover of So Far Gone: the constant quest to understand love and money.

I like all different kinds of music. I never heavily molded myself after rappers. Sometimes they say when you think something and you go to say it, you lose a lot of color about what you're trying to say, so to me the best rappers are the people that don't lose that color.

The worst mistake you can make is walking away from the person who actually stood there and waited for you.

Baby I'll never forget none of that. Girl I told you I was comin back.
