Even where the game is today, cats don't really focus on necessarily what it is that you're saying so when people say, "Oh, you can't rap," I play into the joke. That's why I'll challenge anybody; anybody rapping, let's go just because I know what the art form is and even when you see these battle rappers in here, they're so skillful. It's actually a skill.
I was 16 years old, driving to LA, and sleeping in my car, just trying to make it happen.
Just speak yourself into existence. Whatever you want, speak it. You can see it.
One thing about being a stand-up is it's a one-man show. You gotta do everything. You're the producer, writer, director, and the actor. You just gotta be out there and perform and give your all. It's such an honest form of art that it just taught me so much, and it kind of prepared me for manhood at an early age.
I take my spoken-word stuff extremely seriously because I feel like that's true writing, true lyricism.
Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad.
Clearly, everybody knows I can rap; I can freestyle all day.
The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.
Don't worry about my life, worry about why you're worried about my life!
I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word 'diva' and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn't afraid to show it.
It was a testosterone dream. It was like playing cops and robbers. I was looking forward to doing something new every day.
It's really cool to make this list. And this is a great party!
It was like playing cops and robbers all day long. This is a testosterone dream to drive fast cars, shoot guns and blow stuff up. It was definitely amazing.
People are looking for something new at the end of the day, and I think when people can do something new and unique to get people's attention, that's what is needed. There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music, I mean, whoever's the new trendsetter, that's who people follow.
