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

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

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.

It's no coincidence that all the greatest rappers - whoever you put in your top five - I guarantee you they a great storyteller.

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

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.

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

When you're a rapper, just a rapper, you have to kind of settle for whatever comes your way - if a beat is hot, you wanna rap on it, period.

I didn't even have to be a big fan of someone to enjoy hearing them speak. I remember when Nikki Giovanni came - I wasn't really familiar with her. But she said some things I'll never forget. Like, okay, for example, she was talking about the amount of beef that's in the world. There are so many McDonald's, Burger Kings, Wendy's.

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 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.

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

I think all you can really do is use the tour to kinda fill up with experiences and thoughts, and then, when you get back to the studio, or in some type of creative environment, that's when you release everything that you've encountered on tour.

Yeah school girl, cool girl. Your dress is sexy and your momma is a cougar.

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 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.

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

In hip-hop, there's not a lot of love. There's not a lot of love being spread. It's always like 'I'm stuntin' on you raps, or I'm better than you raps.' It's not a lot of 'Yo man, I idolize you raps.'

I was a huge Mike Tyson fan growing up his fights were always on in my house.
