I feel like Hip Hop culture has always been about [fashion]...it started in the street so it has always been a thing of the streets to be first.

I don't know if that comes in a number, I don't know if that comes in a plaque, I don't know what it is. If I can keep me and the crew around me happy, stable, and out of jail, then we good.

I got a voodoo doll every time I pen a verse: Not only do they say they feel it, but they say it hurts.

Women's style is so hard for me. I just know what I think looks good.

I can't say that music ever made me do anything.

For me, being a rap fan and the nostalgia of me being a kid, rappers and guys on the street told me everything to wear. That was it. I didn't necessarily read too many fashion books. Then it got competitive in junior high school. It was moreso about, You don't got these. Everybody could be fresh, but you don't got these.

I feel like people can feel when something is natural. I think they can tell.

Fashion is just really standing up in the forefront and it's being even mentioned at the same level as the music. I sort of feel like that's where it gets a little sketchy.

Hip-hop to me right now is really easy listening. It's very easy listening, like there's nothing abrasive about it. There's no album that I put in my car that makes me roll down the windows - all the windows - and ride past the club line three times before I get out the car.

I try to mix the fashion with the music and what's going on at the time...at the time [when my uniform was black on black] I was putting together an album, my album was my name at the time very minimal, very stripped down, very everything but it still had and have to have some level of pop.

I don't think I'm a collector. I think every kid from where I'm from had a terrible passion for having to have fresh kicks.

Sonically, musicians always go above and beyond in our efforts to disrupt radio. It's always about being different. Our radio is never conventional anyway.

Fashion right now, people are so...everything is driven by the aesthetic.

We shoppers, you bloggers. If money talks, you mumblers. You try it on, then take it off, Then post a pic on your tumblrs.

Today I feel like it's about people just looking fresh and their records aren't fresh.

I don't want people to see what I've been doing at Play Cloths for nine years and built from a streetwear independence standpoint through Japanese streetwear - I don't want that to be shifted into something else.

This is my time, this is my hour, This is my pain, this is my name, this is my power. If it's my reign, then it's my shower, This pole position...I made a lane 'cause they blocked ours.

To me it's just the knock, man. It's the knock and the groove of the beat. When I start a song, it's the first thought. It's the first thought and the first cadence, because that's the most natural. You know what I'm saying? I feel like people can feel when something is natural.

That competition grew through high school and you step outside more and it grew through college. Then you had regional style speak volumes through college. As you get older, and begin to travel and see more, that was the progression of style for me.

I believe there's a god above me, I'm just the god of everything else!
