At the end of the day, I think that I'm making music for me as that 12-year-old kid in front of my boombox every day. I try to think about, if I'm that little kid, what would he like?
Just knowing how to rap doesn't necessarily mean that you're a good songwriter.
Lot of these businesses ain't going to get no business because of the road construction. It needs to be fixed. Eight months is long enough. They prolong it too much.
We want to try to get some momentum going, but those wins and losses, you get up and it brings you right back down; you get up, it brings you right back down. It's tough. We want to become a team that's being noticed, and that makes it hard to do that.
It's so frustrating. A game like this, when it's in your grasp, you have to take advantage of it. We didn't seize the opportunity tonight.
I want to live a full life. I ain't trying to get it all back in one day or one year, but I'm not going to give up the fight.
It just slipped off my hand. I had a good look. ... Once I saw I was open, maybe I got too excited. Everybody ran to the paint, and I was wide open. I thought this would be like the rest of them, piece of cake, like in practice.
In terms of fashion, I think the biggest influence that I had was my father. My pops, he was really into men's fashion and read all of the magazines.
From an early age, music was my only thing. You come from Detroit, you learn how to make the most of what you can do best.
Faygo's like a Detroit thing, and you can't really find it everywhere, but the difference between Faygo Creme Soda and other cream sodas is that it's foamy. Faygo Creme Soda is almost like Sprite, but it's cream soda, so that's ill!
Yeah, Dizzee Rascal is a huge influence on what I'm doing. I learnt a lot from him even though he's younger than me.
I don't care about sex anymore. It's a headache. It's hard to trust people. You talk to a girl, and then she screenshots a text message.
I would never design anything. I just think that's kind of wack. I hated every rapper fashion line that ever came out, you know what I'm saying? I would never try.
Since I was a kid, I'd wake up every morning hearing a voice say, 'You're the greatest rapper ever.' I'm trying to prove that voice right.
