“I just wanted to let people know that, in any aspect in which you’re getting’ money, you’ve gotta go overtime in order to provide for your loved ones or those who are around you. So that was my state of mind.”

That Scarface movie is just ruthless! His state of mind was like, “Yo, we’re gonna get it – we’re gonna get this money, we’re gonna get this, get that.”

Even though I’m out there as an artist, I continue droppin’ mixtapes, I continue doin’ this and continue showin’ DJs love personally. That’s why I continue doin’ a lot of things other artists don’t do.

What I wanted with that Ruthless state of mind,: just to show people who I am as a person and why I do what I do, and why I go as hard as I do go.

We’ve got a lot of people that support, but The Runners are definitely one of my favorites.

I wanted people to feel me as a person. I do this music for the people, man, so at the end of the day I feel like, [given] our state of mind and the state our economy is in

What I love about doing my concerts is always feeding off the fans and their energy.

We’re gonna keep on doin’ what we’re doin’, and we’re gonna get it by all means. That’s just what “ruthless” means to me. Everybody’s got their own definition, but I’m ruthless with this music.

I want certain things out of life. I want my grand kids, my kids’ kids, being able to inherit what I’ve worked so hard to build.

Due to success I started losing friends.

We’ve got goals we’re trying to reach, and “Overtime” is the only way to do it, and “Champion” is the only thing we’re tryin’ to be.

Not only my favorite producers, but those are actually brothers, they’re part of our We The Best family. To me, they’re the biggest guys out, and the music they produce and the records they put out are phenomenal records.

Through my life, [there have been] a lot of devils and a lot of situations, so I’m just goin’ hard, maintaining, regardless of what people got to say about Ace Hood.

I had this one rock band I used to listen to, but I forgot the name of them.

The budgets are runnin’ low, the streets ain’t really got money no more, things are just dryin’ up; I just felt like people needed some motivation, so I took ’em ‘Overtime.’

I’ve always believed in self, I’ve always believed that as long as I believe, nothing else matters. I just put that type of motivation and that type of energy into my music, and I’ve always had confidence in my music as well.

My favorite movie, one of ’em is [Notorious]. I love Scarface as well. I’ve got a lot of mob movies.

There are many aspects to directing that have a romantic place in people’s minds.

There is some truth in everything. Views and opinions are different aspects. Do not quarrel with others.

A spiritual intention is a resounding YES to awakening to your fullest potential. It may include several of your life structures: mental, emotional, financial, relational – because there is no aspect of your life that is not spiritual.

We are just here, right? We are just people doing our thing. And the most important aspect of anything we do is our motivation, why we do it.

Delete, delete, delete and at the end find the ‘core aspect of the design’

Owing to ignorance of the rope the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the Self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the Self.

The spiritual aspect of my work has more to do with the sense that things in the world can be perceived and accepted as being in some respect alive.

I think everybody really responds to the secret society aspect. This idea that you have to remain anonymous, and yet at the same time, you’re kind of saving the world.
