[ Drizzy] is a good dude , he's been looked out and reached out, and I admire the talent.

I cut off my ears before i hear your advice and vice versa

I don't really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.

No matter how much good things are going on around you, you still have them little negative things that just wanna come out in front. But you bottle them in because you have so many other great things, but they still there.

You don't hear no artists from Compton showing vulnerability.

I went back and studied the game, was a student of the game and worked on my craft and dedicated myself, you know? A lot of my music revolves around me growing up in Compton. I want to tell a different story that's never been told before, of a good kid in a mad city.

My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.
