I'm Machiavelli's offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand, I juggle them both.

My mom's one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.

What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened. Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting - it starts from within.

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

Brother Kendrick Lamar: he's not a rapper, he's a writer, he's an author. And if you read between the lines, we'll learn how to love one another. But you can't do that, I said you can't do that, without loving yourself first.

There's a lot of other artists doing things outside of that depth that I enjoy - that music that I can actually have fun to, and not be in depth and think about, then I appreciate that.

Hip-hop is not the problem, our reality is the problem.
