It's evolution, man. Eventually the student becomes the teacher.
I ended up getting a lion chain. I had to make my own mascot - I want to start my own dynasty eventually.
In the studio, I always put on National Geographic for inspiration. Looking at lions eating gazelles, all that type of stuff.
Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I've worked on - it's really about just being the artist I am.
When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music.
I feel like I changed hip-hop.
I feel like Im able to relate to all races of people because when you learn to tap into the raw emotion of a person, that goes past color.
I feel like that's why we're here on this earth; to manifest what we want, to live a life, to have the best sex, drink the best champagne and to live it up and control it. That's what it's all about.
People in college, if you're getting recognized for getting good grades, you're finally famous. If you get recognized for playing the drums, if you're being recognized for making good ass beats, good ass raps, you're finally famous.
Are you willing to give up what you love, for who you love?
I'm not compromising myself in any way, I love just doing whatever I want and showing people it's real.
Lil Wayne is somebody who I used to ride to school listening to in my car. You know from Tha Carter to Tha Carter II, to Dedication 1 & 2, to Da Drought, his mixtapes. You know you got that for him as him being a rap legend, somebody who you look up to.
I think it's tacky to have chains that go all the way down to your crotch.
I'm just a Westside lover, I leave females in my sheets and all my feelings in a rubber.
