“The same image that I have of all the countries where I am supposed to go: it’s far, it’s different, it will be necessarily complicated, It’s another part of the world for me coming from the United States.”

It was stressful to live as a child in a Sylvian Hills. It’s always been complicated, honestly… I do not really want to tell you, actually. It bothers me that you want me to tell this.

I feel close to Kanye West. We’re friends, this is not just a working relationship.

I’m the type of person to put myself in everybody else’s shoes.

Feeling rich this week

This is the industry that wants music, the rap industry. You have to be on deck all the time, but you do not have the time to do the album. It is an energy; it must be present in everyday life.

For a long time, I heard rap without paying attention, but it is still a way of life, even when you’re a kid.

When you see them be successful, however small, you say to yourself, wow. And everything becomes possible. Never denigrate, to say we will not succeed.

Making it easier for them to count it up, real nigga.

I must have in stock 3000 songs you’ve never heard.

An album is a project with which you have to hit hard.

The best way to use the auto-tune is not to! And that’s what I do: I do not use auto-tune!

I spend more time with Gucci Mane or Birdman than 300, but all this is just family. Who cares about contracts?

It was Kanye West who spoke, and then we met and recorded some songs. After, you know what it is: we all bump like crazy.

You must not worry about leaks or pieces stolen on your computer. Just make songs, you gotta make music, keep stuff out. You may not know rap, but that’s how it works.

I know that everybody listens to me, but only my true fans will go and buy my album.

Use to get fly, but now I get pelican.

There are people who take fashion at different levels, but personally, I’m just a kid with it.

I have assumed the role of Antichrist; I am the Nineties voice of individuality and people tend to associate anyone who looks and behaves differently with illegal or immoral activity.

Love is like the sea. It’s a moving thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from the shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore.

But one must do something about the past. It doesn’t just cease to be. It goes on existing and affecting the present, and in new and different ways, as if in some other dimension it too were growing.

I’m just sick of ego, ego, ego. My own and everybody else’s. I’m sick of everybody that wants to get somewhere, do something distinguished and all, be somebody interesting. It’s disgusting.

When the American Spirit was in its youth, the language of America was different; Liberty, sir, was then the primary object.

Everyone is in the same situation, at different levels and in different places.

He was the average mortal. It troubled him to get used to the world one way and then suddenly have it turn different.
