I was never just a 'fill in 16 bars on a beat' rapper. I was making real songs from the jump.

I like tattoos. I'm gonna be covered. I'm not going to touch my face or under the chin on the neck: it's my least favorite place.

When being unable to differentiate a good from a bad decision:it has become time to follow your heart.

I be goofy, kinda funny. Acting stupid but they love me.

Stand by those who stand by you.

With 'Blue Slide Park' I wanted to have a number one album, and I did do it, so I'm not mad at it, but that was its goal.

I play a bunch of instruments, like piano, drums, guitar and bass. And the kazoo every now and then. I'm trying to learn how to play the trumpet and the saxophone. That's what I'm learning how to play.
