When you become an artist you're working away from home for so much time. You really see what the use of time means to you once you're an artist and you travel so much.

More quotes by Schoolboy Q
The streets helps you a lot in music, cause it let's you know that you can't trust nobody and that nobody's gonna wait for you. You can't just sit there with dope in your pocket and think that people are gonna come to you. You gotta put the product out there.

Lean gives you such stomach pain. I'll never forget the time I was at South by Southwest and had to do all these shows, and I sitting on the couch curled up, hours of pain...That wasn't the moment I quit, that was the moment when I said I need more.
Schoolboy Q
I knew school was stupid since the fifth grade.

The only person that seen something in me was Punch, and probably Ab-Soul. Ab-Soul and Punch was the two niggas that was like Yeah, Q gon be one of them niggas. Watch. I don't know how they knew but they knew.

I think, sometimes, artists release music too fast. If you just sit back and listen to the track for a little bit you could pick and choose how you want to do it and see if you really feel the song, because sometimes you might not even like the song after a few listens.
Schoolboy Q
A song can be a song where somebody thinks you're crazy. A song that gets released has got to be something that everyone can relate to. Most of the songs that I keep are un-relateable for most people - some of the music I make only for myself and the homies.
Schoolboy Q
I'm not anti single. I'm not one of them niggas that say Aww record sales ain't everything. No. I wanna sell good. I would love a platinum record on radio and charts.
Schoolboy Q
I think thats what most of us rappers do too often. We put too much information in some of our albums that could actually be on the next ones.
Schoolboy Q
We're living or dying. We're already dead, the living dead. So do what you gotta do. Take care of your family, of yourself as a whole, and everything will be alright.
Schoolboy Q
I didn't spend money on nothin'. Besides my daughter, bucket hats, and weed.
Schoolboy Q
I got a Lucifer soul. I'll be the Devil's son, Devil's work, gettin' work.
Schoolboy Q
You already past 21 and you still talking about I'ma be a rapper. You ain't did one show, niggas ain't seen you on TV. So Kendrick kind of went through the same thing I went through. He just had his mom's house to go to.
Schoolboy Q
I was a little too antsy, I was jumping around, wanting to go here, wanting to be there. Once I started smoking weed, I just wanted to stay and play the video game and rap. You spend good time with your daughter, man, after you go smoke, chill with your daughter. You're willing to do whatever she want to do.
Schoolboy Q
I remember listening to Sugar Free and Jay Z and I never really understood some of the stuff they used to say until years later. Then you hear it again like, Damn that's crazy. I just got what he's talking about.
Schoolboy Q
One thing I'm big on is believing in giving an album time. I'll say you'll have to give an album three years before you can call it a classic. If you can't listen to it three years later then it's not really a classic.
Schoolboy Q
I'm a performer. That's what I do. That and making money - it's the passion and the care factor for the people that support your passion, the people that support you, it's the kind of people that go crazy and love your stuff.
Schoolboy Q
I never wanna have a time where I'm on the big lawn just sitting back smoking cigars and drinking lemonade. I wanna work forever. Until I die. I wanna die on the way to a show.
Schoolboy Q
All these niggas that have good music have longevity.
