“I must have in stock 3000 songs you’ve never heard.”

The best way to use the auto-tune is not to! And that’s what I do: I do not use auto-tune!

I spend more time with Gucci Mane or Birdman than 300, but all this is just family. Who cares about contracts?

It was Kanye West who spoke, and then we met and recorded some songs. After, you know what it is: we all bump like crazy.

You must not worry about leaks or pieces stolen on your computer. Just make songs, you gotta make music, keep stuff out. You may not know rap, but that’s how it works.

I know that everybody listens to me, but only my true fans will go and buy my album.

Use to get fly, but now I get pelican.

I always knew I could rap, and in a sense, I always rapped. And I’ve always behaved like a rapper. But I started to take it seriously when I recorded with the people of Brick when I started to receive some money.

It’s a pretty crazy thing in which I tried to make songs, real songs, not the quick stuff like on tape. A dose of Kendrick Lamar, a dose of J. Cole, because it’s got to be an album that goes in the club.

I never write. Never! I do not even remember if I can write.

If you’re 30, 40 years old, you’re not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age.

I know I have this image but in reality, if you take all my records, I had to use five or six tracks.

I’m signed to Atlantic through 300 Entertainment Lyor Cohen’s label. That is my only contractual relationship.

Let me show you how to really really bring the summer back.

I don’t want my kids saying, ‘My dad was a gangster, so I need to be a gangster. I would rather mine say, ‘My dad was a stunna, so I need to be a stunna.

I’m pretty sure JAY Z don’t wanna rap right now.

A mixtape is for the street, it’s something you without necessarily thinking about it because you have to stay in the game. It’s like writing an e-mail saying hello to your friends.

New Year Day song is about the pain many of us have experienced this past year.

“Small Voice” is a deeply personal song I wrote the lyrics and music for.

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn’t what romantic songs tell us it is – love simply is.

My father’s songs don’t intimidate me; my father’s songs are my songs. My songs are his songs. There’s no intimidation.

There is a song for every emotion.

It’s hard to say a favorite song of my father’s. I listen to all his stuff; a lot of the old stuff before the ’70s.

One song can make you remember a lot.

I think when you’re writing songs, it’s impossible to not draw on personal experiences, whether it be traveling or girls, or anything.
