“I used to really like Method Man and Redman for some reason. And Fabolous. A lot of New York rappers, too. Cam’ron. Jim Jones. Hurricane Chris.”

I have ‘Very Rare’ tatted on my face.

There’s really nobody who taught me how to dress.

I have a song called ‘Young Voorhees,’ because I like to call myself the new Jason Voorhees, and it samples ‘Courage the Cowardly Dog.’

I’m gonna keep Very Rare as a street brand. I wanna make a new clothing brand and group. It’s gonna be more… high fashion.

You have to be strong for people when you don’t wanna be strong. You have to be clean-showered, clean, clean-cut for people. You have to set an example.

I hate anything that seems like something that has been done.

Timbaland is my favorite producer.

I want to make people have fun again and show people that people can just rap and snap.

I don’t like being categorized as a rapper. I make music; I don’t just rap.

I don’t want to ever be categorized. I want to be able to hit every genre.

I want to make theme-setting music, music that sets a theme without being cliche.

Every time before I go on stage, I’m nervous.

One thing that I do want to say is Drake, as an artist, anybody has to respect him. He’s in the game, and he’s been in the game – he has longevity, even if he doesn’t write or writes his music.

If you see somebody dressing like me, you know they’re purposely trying to dress like me because I dress like nothing.

I know I do swag rap also, but I also take it seriously. It’s like 50-50.

Music changed my life in so many ways.

[Christ] is the Mediator, not only between God and man, but between man and man, between man and reality.

Every man needs two women, a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph.

Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock.

The will of God, to which the law gives expression, is that men should defeat their enemies by loving them.

Men are rather reasoning than reasonable animals, for the most part governed by the impulse of passion.

If a man does his best, what else is there?

A man’s attire is only an outward projection of his inward self.

The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive.
