I know everywhere is cool and all, but, at least for me, I was lucky enough to be in southern California. I feel lucky to be from there... I feel like it taught me how to be polite.
I had the type of family who would tell all their kids, 'You're going to be president.'
I've been compared to Drake before and Kid Cudi.
I don't think anyone has the same music sound as me. I can't think of anyone else.
The name 'Light of Mine' came from how the album was conceived and what its purpose was in telling my story. I started making it at a time when I was, more or less, in a darker place than usual.
I've always wanted to make people feel better or feel alright or feel comfortable or not threatened and feel OK in their own skin.
I'll always have my fan base. I know my actual fans are rockin' with me even when my haircut was messed up. They're never gonna leave.
Randomly enough, all of my favorite rappers growing up were East Coast rappers. I don't know. I just related to them a little more at first - because if you're born in L.A., and you lived there your whole life, Snoop Dogg literally sounds like cars driving by. You feel me? You hear Snoop Dogg so much.
My momma will roast my friends all of the time. If you're one of my friends, and you meet my mom for the first time, she will definitely roast you in a polite way. It's just to test your bars.
I played baseball. I kind of sucked at that. They used to call me 'The Buntmaster' because my coach never wanted me to swing.
I always wanted to do magic tricks - I feel like that could be the the next wave.
Big Sean could get on a verse with anybody and probably annihilate them.
I feel like the biggest key to longevity is maintaining what's special about yourself but always presenting it in a new way. That way, people can never get tired of you.
I always been writing songs since I was, like, six. I was listening to Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Frankie Laine and people like that. I was just in the backyard writing songs.
Imagine if James Brown was your roommate. What? Do you know how much fun you'd be having all the time? Oh my God, he would have you looking the freshest. He would have you doing the funnest stuff for sure, easily. You'd be having the most crackin' parties.
I like being funny; I like laughing with people.
I really love 'Mr. Rager.' I know the first album is incredible, but my favorite Kid Cudi album is the second one.
I feel like what's important is to interact with your fans online. Touring is really important to stay connected with your fans.
I think love is, by far, the strongest force in the entire universe. Love is so strong, it'll make you do something that, in any other circumstance, you would never do.
I really like blending two things together that are polar opposites. Because I feel like, in a large aspect, that's kinda like what I am.
