Humor is everything. Everything. Usually the negatives turned out to be the most positive for me. In the music industry, any other artist would have looked at the situation I was in and thought, "Oh man, this is not for me." I looked at it more like Darwin exploring the Galápagos Islands. You know - survival of the fittest.

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.

I'm just here to open up doors for all these other cats out here that are trying to do the same thing really.

If you continue to work hard, let that be the fuel to your fire.

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

If you look at any movement Hip Hop would be the most influential in the last maybe 15, 20 years.

I was taught in kindergarten: sharing is caring.
