As a crew, G.O.O.D. Music is taking it to levels that really haven't been done collectively. Kanye is someone who knows how to make classic albums, a true thinker. He got me in the mindset of being a true thinker and always planning out every move you got going.
I come from a family of scholars who got their Master's degrees. To my grandma - and to a lot of people - an education was a way of making it out of the worst parts of their life.
From the inside looking out you can never see how it looks from the outside looking in.
People in college, if you're getting recognized for getting good grades, you're finally famous. If you get recognized for playing the drums, if you're being recognized for making good ass beats, good ass raps, you're finally famous.
Chains and stuff are nice, don't get me wrong I love them and I wear chains, but I can do without it.
Eminem was the biggest rapper in the world, but I didn't know Eminem and I didn't know anybody who knew Eminem.
I just wanted to do something that had some meaning that I can look back and be proud of, that my family can look back and be proud of.
Definitely people like Kanye, inspired me to work hard. He's somebody who I've seen put that grind in over the years.
It has no color to it. If you can rap good, you can rap good. I look at Mac Miller, who’s one of my homies, and I look at Wiz Khalifa, who’s one of my homies, and I don’t look at Mac different because he’s white. He’s my homie.
I think gold is made for kings and pharaohs - that's what I am.
For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.
I probably wasted a couple of thousand dollars on some dumb-ass clothes.
I ended up getting a lion chain. I had to make my own mascot - I want to start my own dynasty eventually.
Sometimes I feel like putting on a blazer with just a T-shirt.
