You just gotta be yourself. Like be yourself and if it works out for you, grind hard. Don't get lost in it. And have fun.
Sometimes, you cut off people and you don't even let them know that you aren't messing with them anymore. A lot of people cut themselves off because they can't deal with the new stuff that you have going on.
I want my foundation built, and I want to be strong enough to deal with everything coming my way.
I'm not even sure of what I want in a woman yet. I have a lot of things to do in life. When I grow up as long as she can cook, take care of the kids, and make me feel like "Daddy" then I'll be alright with her.
I want to give people the message and let them feel my emotion behind it.
You get comparisons with anything in life. I think that if you [are] taking the time out to compare me to somebody, then I must be doing something right.
I'm putting my emotion out on stage so people can actually feel me. If you feel somebody's art and you see them perform it and they aren't feeling it, that's one of the first things in the game.
There's a lot of people out there that's starting to sound like me so I guess I'm doing something right.
I never pay attention, to no numbers, no views, comments ... I just try to keep on going, keep on living my life so I can continue to put out music that's real.
I want you to hear how I can tell stories. I want you to hear how I can make these records about these females and make them feel every way I can. I want you to feel my magic. I want you to respect me and my artistry.
Of course, growing up, I was a big fan of rap so that was something that I got into. I was a fan of a lot of artists. You can be a fan, but at the same time, you gotta carve your own swagger and carve out your own style.
I don't know what it means to be a star because I don't really look at myself like a star. I look at myself as a regular person, just like everybody else. I just love what I do.
I like it when girls are screaming for me. It makes me feel really player-like. I enjoy being out there, delivering my songs, and putting a face to the music.
A fan can only go as far as you let them. I've seen crazy things like girls having me autograph their body and then they go get it tattooed. I guess that's too far, but it's cool with me.
I'm a private person so wasn't the type of person who could talk to people and be like this is going on at home, I want this shirt, this girl don't like me, etc. I just rap about it!
I listen to other artists, cuz its like every artist wanna hear something that they never heard before.
What I do brings me a lot of money and it puts me on TV so people may look at me like a star but to me, if you're good (at what you do) and keep on improving, then that's what makes you a star in your own way.
