“A trapper but this rappin got me going places you’ll never go!”

Most of my subject matter was all kind of, like, party stuff, jewelry and cars. It was really just, you know, shallow.

Me personally, I come from very, very humble beginnings – little, small town in Alabama, you know, staying at my granddaddy house. We really didn’t have nothing.

I will keep on hurdling and keep on hustling.

That fame monster’s a fool, man. It really is.

Always watch your back – when I was fourteen I got a tattoo of an eye on the back of my neck, so I could say I was always watchin’ my back.

I go to the club just like a normal person. I might go to the studio, but I go everywhere like a normal person would.

I don’t give a damn how you feel about me, I sip lean pure codeine and I don’t give a damn what you say about me.

I did some things to some people that was downright evil. Is it karma coming back to me – so much drama.

I might be ugly, but my cars are real pretty.

If a man does not have the sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can be lost in the sauce.

I would collaborate with James Franco as a rapper any day.

Ain’t got no comparison and I ain’t being arrogant.

The way I think I should stay out of trouble is by stayin’ busy. With idle time comes a lot of biz, so the more my work load is heavy, I’ll have no time to get into any trouble or makin’ dis tracks or get into conversation about any other rappers.

I’ll like to tell all the people who wrote me and said a prayer for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Before I make an action, think about the consequences. … Any decision I make is a heavy decision.

I’m just a careful person around wheels and stuff like that. I try to be as cautious as I can, cause I lost friends to motorcycle accidents and car accidents. So I don’t ever play around anything like that.

We’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.

When we began, we approached it the way we did because we were not prepared to be out-of-work musicians, ever. We said either take it on as a serious commodity or don’t do it at all.

I knew I wanted to be a rapper when I was, like, 5.

Country music is some of the best-written music in the world, so yeah, one day, I would keep my mind open to doing a country record.

Growing up, I was inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Damian Rice was a huge influence for me musically.

We’re a bit flashy, but the music’s not one big noise.

I performed in high school for Black History Month at a talent show, but besides that, I didn’t have the resources to perform so I spent my time as a teenager writing music.

That’s what I feel like my music represents, having no limits or restrictions.
