“I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers.”

I’m always gonna be all over my CD the most, of course. My talent is my talent. I ain’t really tripping off no ego; I just like to make good music with good people.

I think it’s way harder when you have success, ’cause people tend to not treat you the same or look at you the same because they see the success or the money you make.

Everybody think they’re famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.

I don’t want to just be fully rapping my whole life.

I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don’t worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be.

When you do 10 interviews in one day, and 10 different sources want to talk to you, that means you’re doing good. I think about that every day.

I don’t know what type of music my son will want. By the time he starts listening to music, really, at like 15, 16, I’ll probably have 10 albums out by that time.

Work harder than anybody you’ve ever seen. That’s what I believe.

Management plays a role just keeping everything in place for you and making sure everything’s going right.

The money turned me into a monster.

Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don’t know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.

If you don’t have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it’s no good.

I’ve been betrayed a lot of times in life. I think everybody’s been.

I’m not gone remix a record I don’t got no love for.

I don’t think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don’t have no limits to it, and I like it like that.

One night I prayed to God, I asked could he please remove my enemies from my life, and before you knew it I started losing friends.

As soon as I hit the ball, I know if it’s in.

My goal should never be to raise kids that make me look good. (Oh but how my flesh craves this!) My goal should be to raise kids who love God and spend their lives making His goodness known in their corner of the world.

The goal is nothing other than the coherence and completeness of the system not only in respect of all details, but also in respect of all physicists of all places, all times, all peoples, and all cultures.

My goal is not to shove information into your head. It’s to find ways to reignite the curiosity that we all had as children for the natural world. You don’t have to tell a child to explore the backyard.

Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.

When your every thought and your every action is directed to your ultimate life goals, you become unstoppable and assured of great success and happiness.

Cut your excuses in half and double your actions around your goals.

Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.
