Now that I'm in the position I'm in now, I like to take all my creative ideas and put 'em on the Internet for my fans to interact with. Give 'em something to do.

The Internet had been a BIG help with my career. My advice to musicians, Internet is the key. It gets your music heard all across the world.

When I was 10 years old my mom used to play Tupac while she cleaned the house.

If I'm going to make music for the streets or the clubs or whatever, I go at it with 110 percent.

Soulja Boy is on his dance, down south, young, 18-year-old, comedic swag. It's really just each person's personality if every rapper had the same swag, it would be kind of boring.

Mix the the gas with the lean, call that gasoline

Swag defines an artist, period. Lil Wayne has his super-tattooed pierces and dreads swag. Jay-Z has his New York, grown man, Beyonce and 40/40 Club swag.

When I was in Japan on tour in 2010, I felt like I was 30 years into the future. I love technology and they are so advanced with their phones, computers, everything. I think they had the iPhone way before we did in the U.S. I love gadgets, games, social media and I try to stay ahead on all that stuff, but they get it all first.

My first single I was nominated for a Grammy with 'Crank That,' and I lost a Grammy to Kanye West, but it was still such a big deal for me to be nominated anyway.

I think swag is very important to rappers. It's the overall appearance and style of an artist - these blue shorts and this blue hat and this $80,000 chain, this jewelry and all these tattoos, that's swag.

Be great, make the best life for your family!

I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs, that's cool, but I don't like the dumb questions.

People in the media, it makes their day when someone they say is a five-star artist goes platinum.

I don't travel anywhere without the PS3 and XBox. There's nothing better to do on long bus trips while on tour.
