“I don’t even like New York rappers.”

New York gave me hell for that ‘Purple Swag,’ man. They didn’t respect me until ‘Peso.’

It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.

I’m a people’s person, believe it or not. I just have a dark side to me, which we all do.

In Harlem, I got all my black friends. But when I go downtown, I got black, white, Asian, Indian friends. There’s no borders, no barriers.

All of the young people – the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they’re weird or they don’t have hype around them – need to get some shine.

Sometimes I feel like what’s hard for fashion designers to do is take looks from off the runway and actually put it into existence, into reality. That’s really the hard part.

Fashion is almost like a religion, for me at least.

We could fight the fuss till we get like friends, Or somebody bite the dust and we split like ends. Even in our wildest moments, girl, I’m on it cause you’re worth it. Practice makes perfect, so we fightin’ for a purpose.

Probably, violent things I’ve done when I was younger, was probably the most despicable thing that I’ve ever done.

I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike… People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist.

Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.

If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she’s got to take them off my feet and look inside.

I’m starting to find out that a lot of people that you wouldn’t think listen to me really do.

I wouldn’t mind collaborating with anybody, but I don’t want to design anything, I’m not a fashion designer.

I don’t have any favourite lyrics. Honestly, all of them I love ’em to death – it’s the same with songs. I don’t have just one favourite lyric, I love them all.

I’ve been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the ‘hood, and everybody in the ‘hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.

Anything Drake drops is timeless. It’s always timeless, it’s always lit.

I believe that music is God’s voice.

All my favorite songs ever are love songs. Probably topped by ‘The Luckiest’ by Ben Folds.

I want to make people have fun again and show people that people can just rap and snap.

I would definitely want a hit record, but I still want the success to be around the album. Only the music can help me.

Music is language itself. It should not have any barriers of caste, creed, language or anything. Music is one, only cultures are different. Music is the language of languages. It is the ultimate mother of languages.

I love to beatbox and have been doing it before I even knew what it was.

If I was rich enough, I would love to launch my own record label. I would love to try and give all my musically talented friends a start in the industry.
