I grew up in Chicago, so hip-hop has always been a part of my life.

Detroit is right now a new Mecca for Hip Hop.

Hip-hop is all over the planet.

Seattle isn't known for a particular production sound, so that leaves a lot of great producers in Seattle doing kind of their own thing. And I think, for me, I was probably enough removed from hip-hop that my style was even a little bit weirder than that.

I've always felt that because I'm from Cleveland, which isn't recognised as a place for hip-hop, I needed to step it up if I wanted to make myself known.

I've seen country music go uptown, like we say, and I'm proud I was there when it happened.

In Atlanta, there's no limitation to where you can take your music. You can be as creative as you want to be.

Hip-hop is bigger than the South; hip-hop is bigger than New York.

For some reason and I don't know why, but I don't think that I'm funny in California. So I always want to do my movies east somewhere.
