I just wanted to do something that had some meaning that I can look back and be proud of, that my family can look back and be proud of.
I'm the type to have a bullet-proof condom and still gotta pull out.
There's a lot of shoes that people consider high-end fashion, from Balenciaga to this and that or whatever, and the Pro Models are very similar to me. They're very fashionable to me - the design and the shape of them. I just like them.
You're in good spirits when you create and produce great music. All situations inspire music in different ways, man, from good situations, bad situations, depression, falling in love, falling out of love. I've been going through all those type of things.
I was a telemarketer in my senior year at high school. I had to sell prosthetic limbs to paralysed veterans. I was making 150 bucks a week and it was horrible.
I write my own lyrics completely on my own. Sometimes I have people helping me with concepts or like choruses and stuff sometimes, but mostly I write all my own songs by myself, especially the verses and a lot of the choruses.
Definitely people like Kanye, inspired me to work hard. He's somebody who I've seen put that grind in over the years.
Seafood is one of my biggest pet peeves.
God made me in my beautiful form so I'm just trying to execute it.
I probably wasted a couple of thousand dollars on some dumb-ass clothes.
I think just dreaming big and having aspirations is important. So you know I want to be the greatest of all time at what I do and if you're not trying to be the greatest at what you do then you're not doing it for real.
Gettin' dressed up for court, that's a law suit
I feel like when you're a celebrity, people dehumanize you and they forget you're a real person.
For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.
