Me rapping over other people's beats doesn't mean as much as when Lil Wayne does it - no matter how hard I'm going in.

I feel like I kind of got my own lane, but I think if you mix T.I., Andre3000, Hov and Kanye you kinda get who I am. And I'm a huge fan of all of those artists, I grew up on a little bit of all them.

I can't wait until the record label feels like it's time for my album to come out, and then just disappear.

I'm going to keep proving people wrong, whether it's my record label, other artists.

I just continue to grind on my own. You can't deny good music at the end of the day.

I'm always looking for good music.

Atlanta is not like New York, where everybody piles into one place.

I basically lived through what could have been my downfall and survived it, so whatever comes my way, I'm ready.

It's cool to have a personal relationship with someone who's your idol. Someone whose music you used to constantly listen to, when you were hoping you could make it one day.

A lot of artists just put on the people they can make money off of.

I try to only work with people whose craft I believe in.

Perhaps what matters is not the human pain or joy at all but, rather, the play of shadow and light on a live body, the harmony of trifles assembled...in a unique and inimitable way.

Strange that grief should now almost choke me, because another human being's eye has failed to greet mine.

Linguist say parties in the conversation will tolerate silence for four seconds before interjecting anything, however unrelated.

It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.

I belong here, I tell Toy. I'm hungry for every city block. Every brick building. Every crowded intersection. Electric. I feel brand new.

Chance is better than choice; it is more lordly. Chance is God, choice is man.

We are connected with our own age if we recognize ourselves in relation to outside events; and we have grasped its spirit when we influence the future.

Rancor is an outpouring of a feeling of inferiority.

We all arrive on Earth with a round-trip ticket.

I try my hardest not to read reviews.
