Clearly, everybody knows I can rap; I can freestyle all day.

In the hip-hop community, it's about how real are you, or how strong can you be, and really my music just reflects me. If you can accept me, then you can accept my music

When you don't have those types of things, fashion and all that stuff, it helps you find yourself because you don't have those things to rely on.

The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.

It's blasphemous, don't get distracted by these lottery tickets and statues. It's just fake gold and plastic... We crying for votes but how many of us is on the board. Better yet, when's the last time you showed up and supported the NAACP Awards?

I always try to be optimistic, but not to the point where I'm getting on people's nerves.

To me, a forever love is a bond that can't be broken.
