I can't see myself ever having somebody say something about me on a song and me being like, 'All right, now I'm about to say something about them on a song.'
I'm lucky to be in a space where I've been accepted for who I am and celebrated for who I am.
I'm definitely tired of playing 'Acid Rap.' I'm definitely tired of playing 'Juice.'
I don't agree with the way labels are set up. I don't agree that anyone should sign 360 deals or sign away their publishing or take most of the infrastructure that's included in a formal deal.
There's so much positivity in the world and your day-to-day life that to go as far as to say that you hate something or you wish it didn't exist and all the bad things in the world happen to you and only you, it's a joke. It's not real to have that much hate in your heart.
I think the music industry is something that's very separate from music. So, by always staying on the music side of it, I've found success.
I think there's a lot of taboos in hip-hop that people try and stay away from. I think a big one is, people are afraid to speak about God to a certain extent, and I think if you're not free to speak about God, then you're not free.
Selling music doesn't make that much money.
I'm a patriarch now. I've got to go get the bread.
I think I always knew I wasn't gonna have a regular job.
I don't think I really knew I was going to be a rapper until sixth grade. Even then, it was still kind of - I was in sixth grade. I was always saying I was going to become a rapper.
I am scared of death.
I'm just trying to be an example for all the young artists that are becoming artists every day and working on their craft and trying to help them avoid the pitfalls of the upper management in music and the non-music side of music.
I have a bigger voice than Donald Trump, you know what I'm saying? Than literally anybody that works in politics.
If I was to buy a suit, I'd probably go to Men's Wearhouse - because you're going to like the way you look; they guarantee it.
I want my music to be beautiful.
Anything is respectable in its own realm.
I want to tell people to read 'The Prince' by Machiavelli - check that one out. It's just changed my attack so - I think so much more inwardly.
I think the only thing that's really going to make a change in terms of how we feel as citizens in terms of safety and our relationship with the police is if we start seeing more federal indictments, arrests, and convictions of police officers.
I think #BlackLivesMatter is a huge campaign that is important and integral to our advancement as a people.
