It's no coincidence that all the greatest rappers - whoever you put in your top five - I guarantee you they a great storyteller.

When composing music, I just start spilling things out and then wait until they take form, you know what I mean, until I see like a common thread or something.

There's still value in a CD, even if it's just nostalgic. People are still willing to pay. But it can't compare to a digital-only release where you can control the exact time that it'll come out, you know what I mean? So whoever finds how to bridge that gap is gonna make a lot of money.

Tupac was just so passionate about what he believes in and not afraid to say anything.

I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something's not good enough, and I won't stop until I feel like I've made it. I'm never satisfied.

School is a good place - it ain't for everybody, but I think it's for most people.

While silly ni**as argue over who gon' snatch the crown / Look around my ni**a, white people have snatched the sound / This year I'll probably go to the awards dappered down / Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile.
