white black asian
In Harlem, I got all my black friends. But when I go downtown, I got black, white, Asian, Indian friends. There's no borders, no barriers.
new-york rapper just-being
I'm from New York and I love New York and I'm always repping New York, but what I represent is something deeper than just being a New York rapper.
stars thug men
I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don't drive, I wouldn't mind riding a bike... People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I'm an artist, man. I'm going to live like an artist.
waiting hip-hop racist
Cristal go by the cases, wait hold up that was racist I would prefer the Aces, ain't no different when you taste it. A 40 ounce to chase it, that's just an understatement.
growing-up downtown world
For me, growing up in Harlem and then migrating down to SoHo and the Lower East Side and chillin' down there and making that my stomping ground... That was a big thing, because I'm from Harlem, and downtown is more artsy and also more open-minded. So I got the best of both worlds.
gun boys nuts
Young boy, let his gun bang, let his nuts hang Transition to a Lamborghini from a Mustang Drugs slang in the drug game with the hustling (I know one thing) Anything is better than that 1 train
new-york real rapper
I would not consider myself to be a quote unquote real New York rapper. I don't even like New York rappers.
fashion crazy thinking
So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.
fashion bully way
It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.
suicidal helping sometimes
I'm not glorifying it at all, I'm just basically telling you that sometimes I have suicidal thoughts. And maybe I should seek help, or maybe it's not that deep.
cocky people want
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.
fun people concern
Who people like is their own business. It don't concern me. I know what I do - and I'm having a lot of fun with the women that I'm with.
energy excitement shows
A lot of energy and excitement - that's what a lot of my shows are, energy and excitement.
hate rapper hype
I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: "Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie." That was all hype.
