Actions may make you appear to be someone else, when people actually find out what you're doing.

Just be confident. Confidence is the most attractive part of a person. Because if they're not confident enough to show you who they are, you don't even know who they are.

When I'm actually creating music, I try not to listen to the hip-hop records that are going on, because I think, subconsciously, we steal from each other. If you're listening to a record and it's really hot, then you'll be looking for something that feels like that, or that has a version of it.

I don't have a problem removing people from around me. They could be around for a long time, and I could get comfortable or used to them, and then I can just get rid of them.

When you get in a point when you generate finances in a circle of people they gonna treat you different. They gonna treat you like as if you're gonna bring the money. You're the cash cow.

Because hip-hop has no requirements, you deal with people that have the least intelligence on the planet. Some of the people that compare themselves to me, compare themselves to me because they rap and I rap. They can't even read the contracts that they sign to be a rapper, to do the deal.

Move before you think you are ready.

This venture has to succeed and so it will.

Death gotta be easy cause life is hard

I think it's impossible to actually be a role model. I think on some level, you'll have your flaws or defects of character, regardless.
