There were a lot of songs that I still wanted to put on the album but it worked out. I can only fit 18 [tracks] on the album, I would put 30 if I could.

A lot of things come with fame, whether it's losing friends or losing family.

My music is more like ghetto gospel; there's a message in my words, so people listen. Sometimes you might here different things; it depends on how you feel. You might feel down, and I might be the cat in the same sentence saying, "You need to get up and do your thing." And then I could be the same cat, when you at the top of your game, telling you, "It feel good, don't it?" but with the same words.

I think everybody knows my sound because I'm me, you know? But, on your fourth album, I think you've definitely gotta show growth because I definitely don't plan on being one of those cats that fade off. It's always about growing with me; I grew up over the years.

I ain't never been the type of person out at the movies and holding hands and riding around listening to R. Kelly.

I'ma continue to make records, continue to make hits, continue to be what I am, legendary.

With rap, it's a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take 'em the way they wanna take 'em.
