I hope everybody thinks they've got the best album. I wouldn't have put mine out if I didn't think it was the best.

I just wanna affect the culture and wanna be able to support young people with goals that aren't just limited to rapping and producing.

The first thing that's important is to really have people believe in you. If you have that, you can do anything.

Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you cant fake. Im not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.

Most artists should be able to make the album that they want. You don't necessarily pick the singles that you want when you're making a record, but for the most part it's the same process.

I wanna meet the person who wrote the Burlington Coat Factory thing, but that's cool. I would love to understand it more, but everything is good.

Jay-Z's my favorite rapper, but why can't I aspire to be better than him?
