Quote

I met Will Smith twice. I didn't talk to him for too long but I was trying to let him know that my age group grew up watching him - he was the coolest guy on television and the coolest guy in movies.

I pay attention to lyrics and I know what rap fans care about. I try to write for the average listener and I'm conscious of the mainstream without selling out.

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

I'ma be here for a while. None of these clowns can hurt me.

The thing about being an artist today is you get to develop right in front of people's eyes before you even put out an album.

I don't live for the accolades. I'm more so about the music. Making it, and putting it out. Those are the two best feelings.

If I lost your respect...I'm just hope you don't look at me as something you regret.

I've got two Rolexes that I'm very proud of - a gold Presidential that was a gift and a white gold one I gifted myself. I'm trying to step my game up and get a few more of those.

School is a good place - it ain't for everybody, but I think it's for most people.

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.

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.

Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren't really about anything - which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.

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.

Either you play the game or let the game play you and be that broke sucka talkin bout I stayed true

A lot of my music is just self-observation. Like telling you, Oh man. What did I just do? How much did I just pay for this chain? Why did I do that? Wait a minute. Let me talk about that. Or like, the temptation. Let me talk about that. Let me observe myself.

One thing you should know about me is I never play to lose, Always aim high and rarely obey the rules.

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.

My real dream is to have a whole, like, buy a whole piece of land. Imagine, like, a long driveway. Like, a cul de sac-type street, with maybe, like, seven houses. Me be right here. Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl's grandmother and family right here. Friends over there. That's my real dream.

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