When you start a business, go for the lowest hanging fruit.

If I'm going to be a jazz player, I need to understand Miles Davis.

I was doing the wrong thing, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. It's like if you're dealing with somebody who is high on drugs, they can look back at it and say, "Wow, I was destroying myself." But during the period, they think they're doing the right thing. You just have to let the smoke clear so you can see the whole picture.

If somebody wants to kill people, they don't need a gun to do it.

You know, I say in my lyrics, "Every word I write will be analyzed by somebody white." It's just that I know that this sh*t is just not gonna fall on deaf ears.

Truthfully, a weak rapper can hide behind a lot of production.

A lot of people play single to work some angle. I'm always about keeping it real. If that's how I'm living, that's how I'm living.
