“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.”

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.

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 always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers.

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.

You don’t want to raise a kid in a culture where the kid who asks the most questions is annoying. You want a culture where the kid who asks the most questions gets awards and gets another piece of cake.

Those traits that pass into hybrid association entirely or almost entirely unchanged, thus themselves representing the traits of the hybrid, are termed dominating and those that become latent in the association, recessive.

I love it. I hate that word (fatherhood), but I love being a father; it’s changed everything in so many ways.

If I had my life to live over again, I’d live it the same way. Maybe a few changes here or there, but nothing special. The truth is, honey, I’ve enjoyed my life. I’ve had a hell of a good time.

The public library is more than a repository of books. It’s a mysterious, wondrous place with the power to change lives.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.

We can’t sit in ruin waiting for change to happen.

The good and bad things are what form us as people. Change makes us grow.
