I'm not at every party; I'm not seen everywhere. That's why people still care about my brand.

If I didn't make a single song in two months, I'm slippin'. You can't just party every night.

I stick with a '60s vintage aesthetic of letterman's jackets, plain T-shirts, and good jeans.

If a man does not have the sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can be lost in the sauce.

Respect, brotherhood - the family comes first, and everything else falls in place after that.

Used to rock a throwback ballin on the corner, now I rock tailored suit lookin' like a owner.

The average rap life is two or three albums. You're lucky to get to your second album in rap!

No, I'm not interested in politics. I have zero interest. I have interest in hope and people.

I don't sit around with my friends and talk about money, ever. On a record, that's different.

When you have a lot of stress and negativity around you, when you cut that away, you cleanse.

You supposed to be able to do anything in this world. That's what Martin Luther King told me.

But anyway I think you're bionic And I don't think you're beautiful, I think you're beyond it

I always do my rap from the outside looking in. Like I do my rap as if I'm looking at me rap.

I still don't think I'm really a beautiful person, but I know that I can be beautiful inside.

I'm not trying to keep up or adapt. I'm allowing myself to grow, evolve and create new music.

There's a harsh reality - nothing lasts forever. You have to be ready to grow, and grow fast.
