I didnt grow up around all white people; I never wanted to gentrify hip-hop, Ive never wanted to speak to an all-white audience.

A great song can come from anybody. A great performance can come from anybody. It doesn't matter who you are, and that's truly what I believe.

In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.

I've matured as a person and so has the music... It's gotten more sophisticated and interesting I think.

I want to tell every fan that I appreciate them with a retweet or reply but I don't want my account to lose my own tweets. I don't my fans to have to go through a bunch of replies to get to my own tweets right? In the big picture though I do read all of the tweets and I appreciate all of my followers and my fans.

I suppose sometimes the lack of privacy can be a little hard to deal with at times.

I'm on this raised-platform-stage and I'm put on display, but at the same time I'm just a human. I'm just a regular person at the end of the day and, you know, I just want them to know that I do appreciate every single one of them.
