If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she's got to take them off my feet and look inside.
I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they're gonna represent me. And if I'm gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.
I've been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the 'hood, and everybody in the 'hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.
I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.
[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.
I don't want people to get the impression that I got money and now I'm cocky, because I'm not. I'm just a little overly confident.
There's just so much out there and so much inspiration... I just want to be tasteful.
I didn't want to be a loser, but I didn't want to fit in at the same time because I don't like just being ordinary. So it's one of those situations where I always kept my head up.
I've got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes.
