“I don’t go in and just get to rapping off the dome. I think about it. I really think about it, especially when I make the story.”

I got a lot of names for my next project, ‘Vonald Trump.’ Nah, I ain’t gonna do that, but that sounds good.

With ‘Crazy Story,’ I thought it from the back to the front. I thought about the ending first, then what’s going to happen.

Rolling Loud, I wanna do that. I went to Rolling Loud one time with Durk, I couldn’t even get in. We ain’t have enough passes. I wasn’t even rappin’.

In jail, you just zone out, so that’s the thing. That’s like a cheat code.

I love cars and I love clothes, but I don’t really be going too crazy.

We’re the leaders. Look around. Everything we do, we’re gonna see everyone else try to do it.

They always compare my ‘Crazy Story’ to Meek’s ‘Tony Story.’

The plan wasn’t to rap. So, I got out for a year. I got back in the streets, back out here. Then, it wasn’t workin’, like, I kept going broke. I kept finding myself back at zero. I kept finding myself in trouble, so I told Durk, ‘I’m ready to rap now. I’m ready.’

Ain’t no point in stopping or slowing down. Ain’t like no ‘A’ight, I’m done with this, now take a break,’ you just keep going.

I ain’t really got problems with people.

I used to play baseball. I was playing even in high school.

Naw, I ain’t never been out the country. I been a felon for a minute, so there’s all types of restrictions on my movement, where I can go.

In Chicago, you know you got beef with everybody. In Atlanta, you’re chilling, but you don’t get too comfortable. Like, if I go to the store, it’s not like anybody’s gonna come out shooting at me.

I be talking to females but nothing serious, just entertaining everybody.

If you’re doing something and keep doing it, you’re gonna get better results.

The first time I do something, I’ll probably be good at it.

The only people I truly envy are those who can play a musical instrument and those who can eat anything they want without gaining weight.

I was 14, and I fell in love with Pink Floyd.

It’s almost schizophrenic who I portray in my music.

I think of most songs that way – if you can’t dance to a song, it’s not a song.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.

Beyonce and Rihanna Dance really cool.

Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.
