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

Don't just give me an advance. I want a percentage.

You know, Steve Jobs came to the music industry and pitched them the idea and they kept shootin' him down and shootin' him down, and now he makes money off the whole music industry regardless. Which is a minor part of his empire, 'cause obviously it's gadgets that make him all of his money. But regardless, he has basically monopolized the music game.

My whole thing is I don't take from Castro being an intelligent man as long as he is doing the thing that needs to be done. But the thing is at the end of the day you're not bettering the island. You're only making it worse. So, for me it's just making sure that people have the right to speak their minds and have an opportunity in life to better their life.

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

Music to me is something I did as a hobby.

I'm sharp... What the street taught me how to do is how to hustle. How to make something out of nothing.
