You're not going to hit it every single time, and that's why, when I record an album, I do probably close to 50 songs. Each song I record has to get better. If it's not better than the last song that I made, it'll usually linger for a couple of months, and then it'll be put on the backburner, and then there'll be another song that I do, and then it often doesn't make it on the album.

You know how it is - you make songs, and as you make the new ones, the old ones get old and you throw them out.

Yo, I failed ninth grade three times, but I don't think it was necessarily 'cause I'm stupid.

Yeah, I did see where the people dissing me were coming from. But, it's like, anything that happened in the past between black and white, I can't really speak on it, because I wasn't there. I don't feel like me being born the color I am makes me any less of a person.

I grew up listening to 2 Live Crew and NWA and I never went out and shot nobody.

Everything always happens for a reason.

Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
