new-york real rapper
I would not consider myself to be a quote unquote real New York rapper. I don't even like New York rappers.
fashion crazy thinking
So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.
fashion bully way
It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.
suicidal helping sometimes
I'm not glorifying it at all, I'm just basically telling you that sometimes I have suicidal thoughts. And maybe I should seek help, or maybe it's not that deep.
cocky people want
I don't want people to get the impression that I got money and now I'm cocky, because I'm not. I'm just a little overly confident.
fun people concern
Who people like is their own business. It don't concern me. I know what I do - and I'm having a lot of fun with the women that I'm with.
energy excitement shows
A lot of energy and excitement - that's what a lot of my shows are, energy and excitement.
hate rapper hype
I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: "Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie." That was all hype.
men guy ems
I know that women are smarter than men. I don't wanna sound like I'm on a bandwagon for chicks but I do love 'em, can't front. Women are smarter than men. I know I gotta lot of chicks up my sleeve but you guys are twice as good.
thinking people starting
I'm starting to find out that a lot of people that you wouldn't think listen to me really do.
hype people shining
All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.
rapper views years
I strive for perfection, but Im not perfect. But what I can say is my morals are totally different than any other 24-year-old rapper my age now. I look at life totally different. A whole other aspect. I have different views and morals on life in general. And opinions.
skin-color immature skins
I used to be homophobic, but as I got older, I realized that wasn't the way to do things. I don't discriminate against anybody for their sexual preference, for their skin color... that's immature.
expression clothes feelings
With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I'm feeling that day.
