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

All those who came out of my neighborhood before me. Beyond those you see on TV, the most important people are those who are close to you because they share the same reality.

I just put anything on my back. I take what I have on hand.

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.

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.

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.

The mother of all the skills is to learn the art of paying attention – Remembering every step you make or anything that’s around you.

Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not – now is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.

Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don’t pay so much attention to the words. In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love’s mute.

I tried to pay attention, but attention paid me.

Though motherhood is the most important of all the professions – requiring more knowledge than any other department in human affairs – there was no attention given to preparation for this office.

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.

My mother once said “If you don’t pay attention to age, then it won’t pay attention to you.” And she says it, and it sounds nice, but I don’t buy it.

It would be very sad if children had no memories before those of school. What they need most is the love and attention of their mother.
