It just slipped off my hand. I had a good look. ... Once I saw I was open, maybe I got too excited. Everybody ran to the paint, and I was wide open. I thought this would be like the rest of them, piece of cake, like in practice.
You can't predict the number of years it will take for someone to find themselves, to mature into their own voice. When I got to be 30, I was finally writing like Danny Brown.
I dress for a certain type of girl that I like. Women dress for us, they dress to attract us, so we should at least show that gratitude to them, you know what I'm saying?
At the end of the day, I think that I'm making music for me as that 12-year-old kid in front of my boombox every day. I try to think about, if I'm that little kid, what would he like?
Lot of these businesses ain't going to get no business because of the road construction. It needs to be fixed. Eight months is long enough. They prolong it too much.
We want to try to get some momentum going, but those wins and losses, you get up and it brings you right back down; you get up, it brings you right back down. It's tough. We want to become a team that's being noticed, and that makes it hard to do that.
I used to rap as a kid and people were impressed by it, so it gave me the drive to keep going. Everybody has at least one talent. I guess this is my talent.
The most popular rap artists aren't supposed to be rapping about being broke.
Certain people in life are just going to take what's given to them, and certain people in life know they want better and they're going to go find better. I've always been that type of person.
The UK is always ahead of their time in music, and America always follows them five years later.
I love Michigan, to be honest. I don't think I'd live nowhere else. It's cheap! This is Detroit. A little bit of nothing gets you a lot of something.
I'm from my hood, and everybody knows me in my neighborhood, and that's cool, I can do what I want over there, but in other people's neighborhoods, I can't.
I don't really feel famous. I'm just an internet guy. I walk down the street and people don't really mess with me too much. I still have my life.
If I'm over a song two weeks after I made it, I'm not going to put it out. It has to last months.
