The craziest thing is that the song ["My President"] is real but you can still hear it in the club.

On the real though, just being so young, then coming out of the hood and making it is just crazy to see. Just picking up a microphone and coming from the block, then being able to go around the world and really staying yourself and staying true to who you are.

I always try to go back and check my old stuff. It's like watching the tapes of the game. You want to go back and go as hard as before.

I feel like I'm married to what I do, to the streets. And I feel like when the streets are mad, it's serious.

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

Real recognize real, I suppose.

You seen my shows; I bring the 'hood out.
