“My music isn’t rappity-rap-rap-rap.”

If she bad, she gets a pass into the tour.

I’m not a gangsta.

Yes, money is important. But it’s all about the creative process.

I remember my mom bought me one of their shirts for Easter so that I could wear Helmut Lang for Easter. That was my first piece.

My whole story is straight mythical. It’s tangible, but it’s also what life could be.

Every time I go into the studio, it’s some next level, man.

I don’t look at myself as a designer; I’m focused on music.

I was a smart kid. I went to a private school in middle school and got kicked out.

I’m a magician, like David Blaine. I could never fall.

I’m attached to the beat. The best speaks words. I love Music.

I feel like Houston is one of the leading things in music culture. Everyone loves the Houston culture. It needs to have its own monument, its own moment for artists like me, artists like Beyonce who set it off.

I see hip-hop as going in a self-managing place. It’s very culturally controlled and artist-controlled. It’s not really based on a label anymore. Everything is pretty much in the control of the artist. Which is amazing.

Beyonce is, like, the highest level. We all reach that level.

Don’t do it tomorrow. Do it now. There might not be tomorrow.

My whole story is straight mythical. It’s tangible, but it’s also what life could be.

I’m always up for collaborating with brands and people who actually design, but doing your own line is a whole other beast. I don’t think I could deal with the criticism.

Music is something no one can control.

A good song never gets old.

Music belongs to the people. To no one else. To no one else.

I’m glad that young black people are successful with the music. I’m not a hater.

I try to sprinkle a little gems and jewels in the music that people could use in their own life.

Doing music to pay bills is an uncomfortable situation. I never wanted to be in that situation.

Some songs I write and it takes me like a year to release them.
