I think if I did something in the pop world right now, it would be for Rihanna. I'd love to do something production wise for her.

I yearn for that livin' large, but mama I ain't done yet/Sit back and watch your son rise, kick back and know your son set

I'm the same kid who used to hop the trains with headphones and just go to downtown Manhattan, walk around and listen to music or walk through the city. The fame restricts that. It's a small complaint in comparison to the benefits I get from it, but the restrictive part is what I don't like - and the fact that it's not reversible.

I don't wanna forget the fact that I wanna be one of the best rappers. I feel like some of the best rappers ever - 2Pac, namely, one of them - could take sub-par beats or average beats and turn them into incredible songs.

If I was to go to sleep before midnight, I would feel weird about myself, like I wasted a day. My most productive hours are between midnight and five.

I now possess the tools as a producer and a songwriter to really just go out and make smashes all day long. I could make an album full of smash records that got pop appeal. But my heart is in hip-hop. My heart is in telling stories. And it's like therapy for me.

I'm here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don't follow what you've been told you're supposed to do.

While silly ni**as argue over who gon' snatch the crown / Look around my ni**a, white people have snatched the sound / This year I'll probably go to the awards dappered down / Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile.

I'm already hot, you could say I'm pre-heated. If money talks, mine's telling your's to 'be seated

Sometimes I try a Mai Tai. It's so fruity. It's a little embarrassing, but I like it.

I never really told anybody that I'm a rapper. I wasn't walking around being like, Yo, check out my mixtape! It was more of a secret grind.

I had a lot of resistance, and not just to fame. I was always conscious of not changing.

Anything's possible, you gotta dream like you never seen obstacles.

I had a rat-tail when I was younger. I had this nice Bobby Brown fade, with a rat-tail that was long enough to wrap around my face. I used to chew on the end and bite it.

You can't reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you'll never lose people knowing you.

When composing music, I just start spilling things out and then wait until they take form, you know what I mean, until I see like a common thread or something.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.

I want to be like Bruce Springsteen or something, making songs that are relevant.

I'm not a conscious rapper, all those things we talk about, the struggle, the pain, the outlook to the future, keep your head up. I try to put all those positive things into a regular human character, which is myself.

I was a class clown. At 12, I was definitely clowning. I was making all the jokes. But I was smart, so the teachers didn't know what to do with me.

College isn't in everyone's hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn't mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.
