I hate the business part of music. Music is just like the streets. There's loyal and disloyal people, people saying one thing and then don't do it.

I think thats what most of us rappers do too often. We put too much information in some of our albums that could actually be on the next ones.

I would ditch school if my CD was scratched up or I couldnt get batteries. I wasnt trying to get on the bus and not be listening to music.

The only person that seen something in me was Punch, and probably Ab-Soul. Ab-Soul and Punch was the two niggas that was like "Yeah, Q gon be one of them niggas. Watch." I don't know how they knew but they knew.

I'm not the 'rappity-rapper' type dude. All my music is really true. I can't just rap about nothing, just metaphors and putting words together. I can't just smash out material like other guys. I just want my albums to be crazy every time I drop one.

People look at me and keep walking - but you can tell they know who I am. I want them to bug me. Its gonna be a sad day when they dont.

I knew school was stupid since the fifth grade.
