I'm trying to do something real different; I'm trying to bring the street to real pop. I'm trying to bring the street to pop. Not watering it down, no nothing.

I wanna be selective... very selective. Right now, hip-hop's very boring to me. It's no excitement.

I do music for the fans. I want to lift fans up.

My style is to take something unexpected and make it into a hit. That's what I do.

It hurts when people put you down.

I look at Lil Wayne as being from my generation.

I don't have beef with nobody.
