I don't have no... I love Lil Wayne. I grew up on the Hot Boys.

I don't think you can be a good musician if you just listen to rap, or just the [type of music] you do. You gotta be open to other ideas.

I don't like people being something that they ain't, and we got a lot of that in rap right now.

You have to evolve and change but you're always gonna get that street edge out of my music regardless. That's who I am. That's in me and that ain't gon' never go away.

Most of my show is just improvisation. It goes with the energy of the crowd.

Everything I do is going to be gangsta rap, street based, street oriented... I'm from Gary, Indiana, and everybody's damn near at the poverty level.

I always knew that I would be some type of public figure, but I never knew that it would be rapping.
