I was always on my swag since I was younger.

Your look reflects what's happening in your mind. You gotta have some swag to you.

You can catch me in whatever's funky, whatever's got that swag. If it's got that swag, I'm putting it on.

I think swag is very important to rappers. It's the overall appearance and style of an artist - these blue shorts and this blue hat and this $80,000 chain, this jewelry and all these tattoos, that's swag.

When it comes to swag, there's no gender involved.

We don't get the Tony gift basket anymore. You used to get incredible swag - there was like $5,000 worth of stuff. I remember getting an MP3 player, gift certificates to restaurants, a three-year gym membership.

I got invited to what's called the Gifting Suite in Toronto. I had the day off, so I thought I'd go and see what's what. You come out laden with wonderful stuff. Apparently, if you go to the Oscars, you get given things like iPads. Not that I'm in it for the swag.

Swag defines an artist, period. Lil Wayne has his super-tattooed pierces and dreads swag. Jay-Z has his New York, grown man, Beyonce and 40/40 Club swag.

I enjoy what was called 'swotting' in my day.

A lot of young kids like myself use Instagram because it has swag - it's more personal, and your friends generate it.
