I really appreciate when people use their fame and their voice for more than just self-promotion, starting a dialogue about a topic or an issue much bigger than themselves.

Hip-hop is such a disposable art form from a business standpoint. It never treats its artists as art; it never treats its product as art.

The only mofos in my circle are people that I can learn from.

Hip-hop is so much about character and caricature that people just see you as a character. Very rarely are you flesh and bone to people.

I love traveling the States no matter what. I love traveling abroad, going to Japan and Australia. I love it. I never get tired of it.

I have a lot of those 'Forrest Gump,' I-was-there moments.

Part of me would just like to relax and have one job that pays me the amount I need to survive. And another part of me wants the creativity that comes out of struggle and frustration and fear. It's a never-ending cycle, which must be how I want it, on some level.
