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

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.

Unfortunately I’ve been to jail a couple times. Anytime I come in it’s difficult to make music, write songs.

My own momma turned her back on me, and that’s my momma.

My goal is to drop 10 projects in 2013. All albums. I gotta do it. I know the 10 projects I want to drop.

I always have faith that something’s going to happen good for you, and it going to happen.

I’m satisfied and proud of the things I did – even the bumps and the bruises that I’ve had on the way. You fall down, you get up, you brush yourself off and you keep going. And that’s what we’re doing.

I believe I can make all the money I’ve missed. But I can’t regain the time with fans and family.

A lot of times when you keep it real with somebody, you can’t expect them to keep it real with you. In this industry people just want to be famous and they forget how to keep it real and they forget to give credit to the people who helped them get to where they at.

There’s a little exhaust pipe leaking gasoline, and that gasoline is how good your music is, the gasoline is how you have relationships with people.

I just want to let everyone know I’m not a murderer.

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

I’m a big bike fan – my homies got Harleys and all kind of choppers – but to be honest I’m scared to ride motorcycles like that.

There’s a lot of people scared of me, and I can’t blame them. They call me crazy so much I think I’m starting to believe them.

Girls are like buses, miss one, next fifteen, one comin.

How you dress on the outside, it represents your soul.

I usually record all through the night, but I’m known for waking up early in the morning. Even if I had recorded till 3 or 4 in the morning I might wake up at 9 or 10. I never sleep till 1 o clock.

Some women collect gossip, the way other collect jewelry.

In both business and personal life, I’ve always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do.

Jewelry is incredibly feminine, and reflects the grace and beauty of a women’s style like nothing else.

Pressure makes diamonds.

Each pendant has a special meaning so I try not to leave the house without them.

If you’re watching are you clutching your pearls like I am?

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.

If you’re influencing people, I think you should consider life is too precious to have them chasing the wrong things. Don’t give them jewelry, give them jewels.
