“I want to make theme-setting music, music that sets a theme without being cliche.”

There’s always a ying-yang in life. With everybody. There’s evil in all of us. It’s just about how you balance out the evil and the good and having faith in yourself and how you carry yourself.

Adapt to yourself, bro. What I wanna say is don’t let nobody tell you that you should stay in your lane, bro.

A lot of us have energy that we can tap into. We sell ourselves short.

I have ‘Very Rare’ tatted on my face.

There’s really nobody who taught me how to dress.

I have a song called ‘Young Voorhees,’ because I like to call myself the new Jason Voorhees, and it samples ‘Courage the Cowardly Dog.’

I’m gonna keep Very Rare as a street brand. I wanna make a new clothing brand and group. It’s gonna be more… high fashion.

You have to be strong for people when you don’t wanna be strong. You have to be clean-showered, clean, clean-cut for people. You have to set an example.

I hate anything that seems like something that has been done.

Timbaland is my favorite producer.

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

I don’t like being categorized as a rapper. I make music; I don’t just rap.

I used to really like Method Man and Redman for some reason. And Fabolous. A lot of New York rappers, too. Cam’ron. Jim Jones. Hurricane Chris.

I don’t want to ever be categorized. I want to be able to hit every genre.

Every time before I go on stage, I’m nervous.

One thing that I do want to say is Drake, as an artist, anybody has to respect him. He’s in the game, and he’s been in the game – he has longevity, even if he doesn’t write or writes his music.

Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born.

God made Blues right after he made woman.

It sounds strange for me to be saying this, but I’ve come around to the idea that sex really is for procreation.

To philosophize means to make vivid.

Joy is the mainspring in the whole Of endless Nature’s calm rotation. Joy moves the dazzling wheels that roll In the great Time-piece of Creation.

Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.

I thank You Lord for creating the world beautiful and various and if this is Your seduction I am seduced for good and past all forgiveness

People carry around resentment for years! And that creates daily stress.
