If you're broke, you don't want to rap about being broke; you gonna rap about hustling and getting that bread.

When you grow up in life and you're poor, and because you're an athlete or you got rich overnight in music, unless you have access to financial advice or for the transition or matriculation of that process, then of course, you're going to go broke.

To be famous and broke is hard.

Rappers aren't the really rich ones. We all have nice houses with studios and cars, but you need a piece of someone's business to be super wealthy.

Hip-hop deals with bragging and braggadocio, being boastful. It's always been about who's got the most money.

Rap is just somebody getting something off his chest. That's all it is.

Rap is hardcore street music but there are women out there who can hang with the best male rappers. What holds us back is that girls tend to rap in these high, squeaky voices. It's irritating. You've gotta rap from the diaphragm.

I've always been rapping before I was making money off of it. Before I made a profit, I had always been rapping.

It's not only about the rap lyric. Today, people are buying you as a person.

I understand what rappers are talking about. I think rap is less about educating people about the black community and more about making money.
