“I want to design jewelry for girls and guys, I’ma spread it out, but I’ma design, probably when I’m just designing furniture and buildings, I’ll probably being the jewelry thing, too.”

Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.

I try to tell all the – not even the kids, even people older than me – to just be themselves. Don’t wear what I wear ’cause I wear it; wear what you like.

I’m not a follower. I’m a leader. And anyone who speaks their mind is always criticised.

I don’t like people around me sad. I like making people happy.

The thing is, I make music I like. So it’s just weird if someone says they don’t like it.

I tweet early in the morning when I wake up or late at night just to let you know that I have a show or what’s on my mind, and that’s it. I hate Snapchat and all of that. It’s making kids so stupid.

Usually, when I’m rappin’, I’m creating a big story or a concept song that sounds like a movie to me.

I’m hungry for VMAs and Grammys. That’s my main goal.

I’m a big ‘Goosebumps’ fan – ‘Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.’ My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.

I’m a pretty nice dude. I have fun, and people take it the wrong way.

I want to make as much money as I possibly can so that when my day comes, my mother and sister is fine. My close friends are fine. They don’t have to worry about anything ever again.

Rap is really just too conventional. Everybody does the same thing. No one ever pushes the box.

If the world was ending, I think I would grab some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a bunch of water, and I’d probably just I’d probably go crazy.

My lyrics aren’t offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I’m so stoked my life panned out how it was.

I like my raps, but I’m never too happy with some of ’em because I feel like they could be better.

I think people need housing. And there’s empty buildings, I think people should live in there.

When the president during the campaign said he was against nation building,

With my hand in his, I looked at all the apartment buildings with rushes of love, peering in the wide streetside windows that revealed living rooms painted in dark burgandies and matte reds.

More people are interested in trying to shuffle paper assets around than building lasting assets by producing real goods.

Otherwise, I think the building can be bigger, larger, and the city can be much more crazy. The problem is the government structure is so deadly stupid, not really solving problems but creating a lot of problems itself every day.

Rooms are a fixed size, which can’t be altered without pulling down walls and building new ones.

The strategy for peace-building in Afghanistan is economic aid, reconstruction, international security forces. On those lines, the U.S. has been extremely slow. And it has even blocked expanding security forces from Kabul to other cities.

I can play with that opportunity or not. This is my right, or poetic license, as someone who is building an artefact of fantasy – this implicit pact with the reader is my starting point.
