When you start to become famous, you can hop into any kind of field just because of the name you have and the credentials you have.

I've always been into dressing and being stylish because I feel like that's where I gained a lot of my confidence and swag as a rapper, so fashion goes hand-in-hand with music to me.

Rap is the number one most influential thing, it's the only genre that really strikes a chord. When you sing, you feel a certain way and it makes you feel good, but when you rap, it just strikes a chord a whole different way.

The first rap album I bought was Eminem's The Slim Shady LP so I wasn't even based on West Coast rap like that.

I know what people want. I know what everybody wants - I know what the streets want, I know what the suburbs want, I know what corporate people want. I know what-all type of music these people listen to.

I keep telling myself that I don't miss you and that I don't love you hoping that someday I will believe it.

Even though Prince wasn't rapping and it was a whole different era, it shows how artists expressed themselves without saying too much, and that was the real beauty of the art.
