Music to me is something I did as a hobby.

I don't wanna make hood music, I don't wanna make street music, I want to make world music, global music, international music.

I never worry 'cause people always try to categorize me. "Oh, that's reggaeton." "Oh, he's a Latin rapper." "Oh, he's crunk." "Oh, he's a Southern rapper," or, "He's a club rapper." As long as they're listening to the music and they're talkin' about it, one way or the other, that means I'm doing something right.

One thing that's never gonna go, you know, go sour is good music.

Now, with the Internet, you're either five years ahead or you're five years behind, and the music game is catchin' up right now.

There's always something going on, and people need that 45-minute-to-an-hour-and-15-minute break, where they just escape and not worry about bills, health care and God knows what. That, to me, is when you're making great music: when people can just forget about what's going on.

I'm not a Reggaeton artist and I'm not a Crunk artist either.
