Kids don't even realize what they're up against.

If you holding up the wall then you missing the point

Unless somebody who's already eleven thousand times platinum is like, "We're ushering this project in," it's not really gonna pop commercially.

It mattered what someone did to allow you to have the forum to do what you're doing.

There are situations where I'm uncomfortable saying, "I'm a hip-hop artist." In some circles, the response is like, "Oh, OK, so... you have whores and your ties are shiny?"

When new artists come out and they're not being cosigned or some company doesn't have a stake in it, or someone's not getting paid under the table to produce the whole record or bring it to video, the artist really suffers.

The stuff I'm working on is quite dense. I'm seeing every four bars as a scene in a film.
