“I don’t know what type of music my son will want. By the time he starts listening to music, really, at like 15, 16, I’ll probably have 10 albums out by that time.”

I’m always gonna be all over my CD the most, of course. My talent is my talent. I ain’t really tripping off no ego; I just like to make good music with good people.

I think it’s way harder when you have success, ’cause people tend to not treat you the same or look at you the same because they see the success or the money you make.

Everybody think they’re famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.

I don’t want to just be fully rapping my whole life.

I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don’t worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be.

When you do 10 interviews in one day, and 10 different sources want to talk to you, that means you’re doing good. I think about that every day.

Work harder than anybody you’ve ever seen. That’s what I believe.

Management plays a role just keeping everything in place for you and making sure everything’s going right.

The money turned me into a monster.

Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don’t know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.

If you don’t have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it’s no good.

I’ve been betrayed a lot of times in life. I think everybody’s been.

I’m not gone remix a record I don’t got no love for.

I don’t think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don’t have no limits to it, and I like it like that.

I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers.

One night I prayed to God, I asked could he please remove my enemies from my life, and before you knew it I started losing friends.

Ah, the first step in humility: Listening.

Here’s how a child listens: you tell him something, and he puts his own interpretation on what you said. That’s what he hears. No one has ever heard you.

Don’t be a VICTIM of negative self talk – remember YOU are listening.

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 worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I’d want to kick my own ass.

A lot of the time I tend to overlook the music because I’m listening to how it’s produced.

Therefore, faithful Christian, seek the truth, listen to the truth, learn the truth, love the truth, tell the truth, learn the truth, defend the truth even to death.
