My first single I was nominated for a Grammy with 'Crank That,' and I lost a Grammy to Kanye West, but it was still such a big deal for me to be nominated anyway.

If I'm doing something its coming from a kind heart.

I was one of the first artists to have a YouTube account, if not the first. I joined two months after the site launched.

The Internet had been a BIG help with my career. My advice to musicians, Internet is the key. It gets your music heard all across the world.

Words are powerful. When I make mistakes I just try to come back and clarify what I meant.

I think swag is very important to rappers. It's the overall appearance and style of an artist - these blue shorts and this blue hat and this $80,000 chain, this jewelry and all these tattoos, that's swag.

People in the media, it makes their day when someone they say is a five-star artist goes platinum.
