More quotes by Young Thug
I always knew I could rap, and in a sense I always rapped. And I've always behaved like a rapper. But I started to take it seriously when I recorded with the people of Brick when I started to receive some money.
Young Thug
For a long time I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you're a kid.
Young Thug
Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age. By the time I turn that old, I ain't gonna be doing what he's doing.
Young Thug
I do my stuff, my mixtapes, as you say. We just need time to capture. After that, I do not know what he thinks, but for me, it is time to get things together.
Young Thug
A mixtape is for the street, it's something you without necessarily thinking about it, because you have to stay in the game. It's like writing an e-mail saying hello to your friends.
Young Thug
Today I live in the suburbs, in a neighborhood [that's not] too bad.
Young Thug
Mixtapes, it's for everyone and you throw them in the trash quickly. While an album is an object that only your real fans take the trouble to buy and know you have prepared something special.
Young Thug
It was [Kanye West] who spoke, and then we met and recorded some songs. After, you know what it is: we all bump like crazy.
Young Thug
You must not you worry about leaks or pieces [stolen] on your computer. You just make songs, you gotta make music, keep stuff out. You may not know rap, but that's how it works.
Young Thug
This is where the guys who copy me are planted: I do not use auto-tune, I sing. That's my advice!
Young Thug
I am not versed in production software. I have basic knowledge, but it ends there.
Young Thug
It was stressful [to live as a child in a Sylvian Hills]. It's always been complicated, honestly... I do not really want to tell you, actually. It bothers me that you want me to tell this.
Young Thug
I know I have this image but in reality, if you take all my records, I had to use five or six [tracks].
Young Thug
All those who came out of my neighborhood before me. Beyond those you see on TV, the most important people are those who are close to you because they share the same reality.
Young Thug
I spend more time with Gucci [Mane] or Birdman than 300, but all this is just family. Who cares [about] contracts?
Young Thug
I don't want my kids saying, 'My dad was a gangster, so I need to be a gangster. I would rather mine say, 'My dad was a stunna, so I need to be a stunna.'
Young Thug
I feel close to [Kanye West]. We're friends, this is not just a working relationship.
Young Thug
I'm signed to Atlantic through 300 Entertainment [Lyor Cohen's label]. That is my only contractual relationship.
Young Thug
This is the industry that wants [music], the rap industry. You have to be on deck all the time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy, it must be present in everyday life.
Young Thug
I'm always in range of a microphone. I even have a studio at home.
