I always call niggas fools for wanting to learn the hard way. When I'm really the fool for tryna teach 'em. When the blinds leading the blind. You can't reach 'em. If niggas ain't as hungry as you then why feed 'em? Niggas ain't tryna be lead then why lead 'em? Having big problems with your dogs, why breed em?

Music kept me sane. I love music too much. I'm too passionate about music to let anything or anyone come in between me and my love.

I think the time in between albums, as much as it was not anticipated, it was much-needed, and very helpful, very useful. I've done nothing but hone my craft, and get better, and learn, and gather information in the process. So I'm grateful for it in retrospect.

Technology being the way it is, and record sales being the way it is, there are not too many things that you need to depend on a label for that you can't go out and do yourself.

You want attention, you want support, you want to be treated properly, and I don't wanna have to go anywhere and teach people how to treat me.

I'm a firm believer in my higher power havin' a plan, and he's never wrong, and he's not open to suggestions.

Certain majors [lables] just know what they're doin', and got a good grip on the dynamic of what's happening, and some don't.
