I feel like Hip Hop culture has always been about [fashion]...it started in the street so it has always been a thing of the streets to be first.

I try to make Play Cloths really representative of me and my designers they look at my evolution as an artist and in fashion and they [zero] in to different details. I come into the office some days and they're like, 'What are those?" [I say,] "[These] are Philip Lim...[I'll] have on Philip Lim sweats and they go and put their spin on it.

When I start a song, it's the first thought. It's the first thought and the first cadence, because that's the most natural.

I can't say that music ever made me do anything.

Sitting with the woman of your dreams and forgetting what her name is.

My style is forever changing.

Pain is joy when it cries, it's my smile in disguise.
