I don't date girls. I date women.
When you think positively, you attract positive people. If I'm on a mission to be successful, and I'm positive all the time, then more positive people will come around me, and we'll help each other. If you're negative, you'll find yourself surrounded by negative people.
If it's a good movie, it's a good movie. I don't care about the genres.
You going to call me arrogant for believing in myself? Come on! It's a competitive sport. Rappin' is the closest thing to boxing. Jay-Z said that. You gotta fight every day.
I write all my own songs. Everything I did on 'The X Factor' was basically original, except for some of the live shows. Everything I did was original, and I wrote it from the heart.
Whatever woman I love... I gotta love her. She might be a hood rat, but she's gotta have respect for my mother.
I was 15 when I read the script for 'Earth to Echo.' I thought it was amazing, and I couldn't think of turning it down. It's awesome for a kid from Brooklyn to have an opportunity to be on the big screen. And I had a great experience learning what the movie business is like. So, I'm glad I did it.
When I say that I'm not dancing, people get it confused, like I'm not going to do anything outside of rap. It's not that. When I leave this earth, I want to be remembered as an M.C. But I'm definitely going to touch a lot of other genres, not just rapping.
The cats that are doing they thing, you have to search to really find them, to find rappers that can actually rap and speak messages in the music. That's not a good thing at all.
No, I ain't a star - I'm just a kid from Brooklyn, living his dream.
People aren't taking their time with the music no more. There's less quality in the records.
I breathe music... The acting is a job, but music is life. You need a job to live.
Don't let people see when you're mad - just smile and laugh.
I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I'm a hip-hop artist. That's just that. You're going to have to accept me or just not be a fan, I guess.
I don't have a desire for material things. As long as I'm happy, I'm good, man.
I like to keep certain stuff to myself just because I feel like technology is taking over people's lives.
Everybody watches Bruce Lee. That's a legend. He's the man!
I'm just excited to see myself on billboards. I'm getting ready to be a star.
If I'm extra happy or excited, it'll take me an hour or two to write a song. Or, if I'm really sad or something, it will take me about a day. But I have a specific way of writing: I just listen to the beat. I think about what I'm going to write over the beat.
I'm thinking of the kids of the next generation and the music that they need to hear. Before, I was just rapping to rap. Now, I'm rapping to change the world.
