At first, I was scared to show fear because you can never be sure how people will perceive you. But I dared myself to do that, to stand out. Now I'll talk about being beaten up or robbed or making a stupid decision because of a girl or whatever.
From Kendrick Lamar
I've been called a recluse. There's definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.
I don't want to be something that just comes and goes.
I don't really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.
I had to come from something, come from a place that was negative and positive but the majority of it is a negative place.
When you go on your Twitter or look down your Timeline and it's all great positivity - I love that. But at the same time, it can really divert you from what your purpose is or what you're trying to do. And I've seen artists get caught up in that.
My moms always told me, 'How long you gonna play the victim?' I can say I'm mad and I hate everything, but nothing really changes until I change myself.
My passion is bringing storylines around and constructing a full body of work rather than just a 16-bar verse.
When I went back to my old high school, all these kids looking at me like I'm the real big homie, the same way I look at Jay Z, Nas, or Dr. Dre. You would've thought Michael Jackson walked through that joint off the excitement that they had.
When I ask OGs why there's so much division in the streets, nobody never really knows. But you know one thing that everybody always mention? A woman.
