Management plays a role just keeping everything in place for you and making sure everything's going right.
I think everybody from Philadelphia been shot at before.
I'm into all types of stuff. I might have on Pumas one day, Givenchy the next. I'd wear this John Elliott sweat suit to the club.
I think artists should be able to do different things whenever they want and I like the way I am. I'm like - I ain't gonna say the only street rapper, but the only mainstream, new, young street rapper there is right now and I'm doing well with it.
First black president ever, and to be living while it happened - that's a good part of history. That's probably the biggest person I admire right now.
When I'm not in the booth, I'm one of the most laid-back guys. But growing up, I liked DMX, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and T.I. - dudes that went all out on the track. My first songs were energetic because I liked their energy.
I don't want to just be fully rapping my whole life.
I have a fan base worldwide, man. I think they're really down for me. That's how I got signed - 30,000 fans retweeting Rick Ross.
When you do 10 interviews in one day, and 10 different sources want to talk to you, that means you're doing good. I think about that every day.
I watch my YouTube videos over and over.
I got into music when I was 12, 13.
Me and Kendrick [Lamar] have different types of music. He from a different coast; we ain't in the same lane.
I always wanted to be one of the hottest rappers.
I don't think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don't have no limits to it, and I like it like that.
You could be Top 5 on iTunes, but for people to buy an album, they've got to have a connection with an artist. Every time I bought someone's album, it was about the connection. I was loving everything, from their raps to their style. I wanted to meet them.
I don't know what type of music my son will want. By the time he starts listening to music, really, at like 15, 16, I'll probably have 10 albums out by that time.
Jay-Z ain't a manager; he owns a management company. He been through this, he been through the game for a long time so he knows tactics in taking artists in certain directions we need to go in.
I'm not gone remix a record I don't got no love for.
