“[Positive mental attitude] is a practice, you gotta practice. I practice being still.”

I like to practice being still and I feel like that promotes a lot of positivity.

I treat all my projects the same. They’re all time capsules of where I am at the time and what I’m thinking about.

There are a lot of people in this world that listen to wide ranges of music and there should never be a CERTAIN type of music that any artist should be confined to, in my opinion.

I think L.A. is L.A. I can go anywhere in the world and I’ll just say I’m from L.A. But when I’m there I gotta say I’m from Carson.

I’m not extra’d out. I got a cool little vinyl collection.

Everything is written in my mind, more so due to my lack of vision at this point. After years of vigorous writing, it was more of a challenge to do it without paper or sidekicks. I enjoy a good challenge.

Vancouver is dope, everybody got across the border today.

We’re all different and I respect my difference. I just try to be myself at all times. As long as I do that my music is always going to be different.

The universe bends to a still mind, peace be still.

I’ve been following battle rap for a long time. Me and Daylyt are real cool. We battled on my album, he’s on my album. We did a one round battle on my album and that was just me capturing These Days.

I say ‘cuz’ around Bloods, and I say ‘blood’ around Crips…I’m twisted. Got Mary, got Lucy, got Molly: that’s wifey, girlfriend and mistress.

I’m really focused on These Days and I’m trying to take it as far as I can – I feel like it’s a strong body of work. I just want to give it the ame kind of attention I give all my projects.

Battle rap is a culture. That’s boxing, it’s like boxing.

I have respect for the sport so I will contribute to the sport by encouraging artists .

King Of The Dot is huge; battle rap is huge right now. My first battle that I went to was King Of The Dot – shout out to Lush One.

I’ve been watching battle rap since that time period when Cassidy was hot, Murda Mook and Lux first when at it. That was a very pivotal time in hip-hop.

The album feels like a new era for me — emotionally, lyrically, sonically. It feels fresh, it feels new. It’s still me.

You have a career, the reason why we’re still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs.

If we had been there listening, we still might not have been able to determine exactly what Stanton said. All we know for sure is that everyone was weeping, and the room was full.

The past is so often unknowable not because it is befogged now but because it was befogged then, too, back when it was still the present.

I’d like to think we can still be edgy and challenging.

Whilst there’s a competition still on we’re still a chance.

The custom is often noticed in the Old Testament, and still prevails in the east, and in some of the newly discovered South Sea Islands.

It’s amazing that this is still news to people, but that affects the final outcome of the film.
