“Feeling rich this week”

We need money. We need hits. Hits bring money, money brings power, power brings fame, fame change the game.

Fuck it I’m mad.

I am always with London On Da Track, Wheezy, 808 Mafia Mike Will Made It, Ricky Racks.

Gucci Mane is my brother, Birdman also, we’re working together but it is a form of brotherhood. We’re friends but there is no need to contract. In a sense, I’m signed on their labels, but there is no lawyer, no contract.

I repeat it until it works. It is important to record, otherwise, you lose ideas. That’s why I never stay away from the studio, I always have something to ask.

When it comes to swag, there’s no gender involved.

I know, every time I get somewhere, it’ll be strange. But if I understand correctly, I also have fans here and it reassures me.

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.

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.

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.

I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well.

I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time.

I can never be Michael Jackson or do what he did, but he is definitely a good inspiration: I want to give the kids that feeling.

Depression is deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel.

I want to get to the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply.

The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous.

Night is coming on and I am filled with indescribable loneliness. Felt feverish; bathed in a black, silent stream.

You grow up a bit damaged or broken then you have some success but you don’t know how to feel good about the work you’re doing or the life you’re leading.
