I'm a real gangster rapper and I'm a rapper. I just think my music takes different directions. I don't think you can pigeon hole me in one genre. I'm probably the most versatile in the game, period.

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.

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

I study my competition for at least an hour a day. I get on the internet, look at what they doing, then I look at ways to defeat them.

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 have to rap in a stadium. As long as I can provide for my family and my art, and live comfortably and live well, then I'm good. And with my talent level and my skill level, I'll get there.
