“Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.”

People who don’t know me are so negative about me. When they finally meet me, they change that negative into a positive.

I’m destined to live and say things.

As a black man, I have to respect myself and have nice things. As a man in general.

It’s an unexplainable feeling, an expression. It’s a touch, it’s a feel. Once you feel it, it’s like no other thing in the world.

Love goes unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it.

If you stop at general math, you’re only going to make general math money.

When I was a small boy, if we had a problem, we would fight about it with our fists. We wouldn’t shoot somebody, killing them or wounding them. That’s not hard to do. I would like people to put down the guns. If you have a problem, talk about it or fight about it.

A lot of people don’t know that I love to love. To have a different kind of mask on me where people feel like I’m not a loving individual. I just love to love, I love everything and everybody, I’m about peace that’s my spirit.

You won’t hear any more alcohol songs from Snoop Dogg – unless I stumble upon some Hennessy.

Do what you feel is right, baby.

Barack Obama makes me feel good to be a black man.

The fact is, the truth will come out. The truth will come out when it’s time.

Don’t get upset girl, that’s how it goes. I don’t love you hoes, I’m out the door.

Trump says he wants to run for president. Why not? It wouldn’t be the first time he pushed a black family out of their home.

Women are in a position now to voice their opinion. Women are getting empowered. The more power they get, the more voice they get to shift certain things around. Now I have a daughter, I understand. When I didn’t have a daughter, I didn’t understand.

A lot of people like to fool you and say that you’re not smart if you never went to college, but common sense rules over everything. That’s what I learned from selling crack.

I can make any type of music, so I wouldn’t want to describe myself as having one type of sound. I think music is about keeping it diverse.

Sometimes I’ll have a whole song done without having a beat – I’ll just rap on an instrumental tempo and recreate a whole new song just around the lyrics.

Lil Wayne would probably be a big musical inspiration for me, because growing up I was just the biggest Wayne fan and being able to be signed to him and watch his whole journey to the peak of his career is great.

The media has a lot of power, and everything I do is what I want people to see, whether it’s putting out a new single, dropping a new album, doing a new movie or new collab with a designer – this is what I want people to see.

My motivational music is any music that helps me escape. There are certain records that take you to euphoria, when you’re partying and havin’ a good time, dancin’ with a couple people.

I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.

You are the music while the music lasts.

There’s a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes.
