Once you're signed to a label you compromise.

I don't feel comfortable making empty music.

I don't care if Rick Ross is 40 years old -- he's a misguided 40-year-old person.

There are staples to my show. I have to be conscious about switching things up because I know people who saw me last year will say, 'He did that last time.' But if certain things work, they work.

Just because someone has great content doesn't mean you like them as a rapper.

The beautiful thing about hip-hop is it's like an audio collage. You can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and it'll be a hip-hop song. That's the only music you can do that with.

You have to know when to be arrogant. You have to when to be humble. You have to know when to be hard and you have to know when to be soft.
