I don't necessarily do anything just for the money. I do it for the passion and I do it for the love, because I'm still hungry. So if I want to do music, it's not necessarily motivated because of monetary value. It's more about the passion and the love, and I think that's where music should come from, the heart, not necessarily just to cash a check.
We [musicians] are comfortable in front of the camera doing music videos, and it's almost a form of acting when we're doing music videos. We're acting out our own thoughts and what we've written down on paper.
I really love when people come up to me on the street and say, 'You're my favorite rapper.'
I used to be a video game freak, but I've kind of like eased back.
I'm a part of the no-tight-jeans coalition.
I've never been a cocky individual, but I am very confident.
I've always had an affinity and a passion for cars and that whole car culture.

Once you start watching a television show that you love you can't stop watching it.
It's a lot of crooked cops out there. They manipulate the system.
I love technology. We can be our own DJs wherever we go.
Feels like a midget is hanging from my necklace
I would say Lil Wayne [is the best rapper]. He's all about hard work and consistency.
It don't take a lot to make me happy. I'm not spoiled like that.
