G.O.O.D. Music is just real tastemakers, man. Kanye's a real tastemaker. One thing that I feel is tight about G.O.O.D. is that a lot of people have their own style, and you can see that. My style is different than Pusha's, it's different than Cudi's. But it's also slightly similar 'cause we have some similar tastes.
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.
I'm the type to have a bullet-proof condom and still gotta pull out.
I got a dream that's worth more than my reality.
From the inside looking out you can never see how it looks from the outside looking in.
There are so many people with great work ethics that I've been around. I try and take the best qualities from the people I admire and apply it to my own self.
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.
My mom keeps me going, man. She deserves such a good life. I just wanna give it to her. My dad, too. My family, my friends, they keep me motivated. Just knowing my personal legend, just knowing what I'm supposed to do, that keeps me going.
When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music.
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.
I want to win some awards, sell more records - just do whatever I want.
