bad best chemistry choosing good might people pop record song true
I'm not the best at choosing what's good and what's bad. I wouldn't even know what's a good pop song and what's a bad one. With that said, I wanted to say what's true to me. Some people might say that the Skrillex record was pop, but that was just about the chemistry between me and my boy.
appeal chance expresses favorite favorites given lifestyle listened music people tried
I wanted to appeal to people who've never really listened to hip-hop or really given it a chance before. I've also tried to incorporate all my favorite lifestyle things in the music. Of course, 'Fashion Killa' is one of peoples' favorites because it just expresses how much I like fashion.
funniest home love people
I love 'Robot Chicken,' 'The Boondocks' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' Then there's this show called 'The First 48.' It's a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other - it's hilarious.
everybody gets hip hop issue matters people seem shame topic upset
For instance, one big issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It's 2013, and it's a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It's crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip hop is small-minded or stupid - and that's not the case.
art continue far follow good music notice people somebody state until
I feel like everything I do in the hip-hop world has an influence. People don't really notice what I did until somebody else does it. As far as hip-hop goes, I want to continue to make good music, and good art. I don't really follow the state of hip-hop.
forget lifestyle music people supposed waiting
Sometimes I forget that I'm supposed to keep people entertained because I'm just making music for my lifestyle and for my people who live my lifestyle. We forget that there's a world waiting on us.
inspiration people want
[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.
school people albums
People don't make albums any more. It's always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.
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.
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.
stupid gay people
Why can't I be friends with somebody who's gay? Why not? You can miss out on a lot by being so small-minded and stereotypical about people. It's stupid.
people inspire mind
I want to inspire people to really open up their minds and not be one-sided or biased or hypocritical.
