The most time I spent home in 2009 was about a month.
I keep a creative group around me.
Brands are in your face 24/7; I'm sure you've consumed a couple brands today. So it's fun working with them. People recognize brands, and people are starting to recognize my brand.
Hip-hop is like underground. I don't know if hip-hop exists anymore. I don't know if it does.
I started performing music about the age of 16. I lived in Brooklyn, New York, and this thing called the Flatbush Fair comes once a year. That was my first time on stage.
I'm trying to fuse popular and commercial music and just make very creative music. It's popular music: it's everything for everybody.
While my cousins were gang-banging, I was trying to learn what the Internet was about.
Europe were kind of the first ones to embrace my music; the kids from around the way would come out to my shows and really enjoy it.
You should treat your body like a canvas.
Go to American Apparel; they have all of the colors of socks.
I'm on the sockless and un-sockless teams. I'm on both sides.
I wanted to only collab with women for 'Lovers Holiday.'
'Billie Jean' was a negative dance song, and that was one of the best dance songs ever.
I love an art-school girl. I mean... don't we all?
I collect a lot of clothes when I travel around the world.
I'm kind of brandless. I don't like big logos or whatever.
I am international. When I put out my second mixtape, we did four tours and a tour overseas.
I admire traveling; I appreciate it a lot.
I don't want to be easily defined.
DMX wasn't checking what his fans were saying to him on Twitter or Facebook. Jay-Z is on a boat in Saint-Tropez. I'm hands-on. Girls write to me like I'm their diary. That's a huge responsibility. I don't take it for granted.
