I dont ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one.
As soon as they say I don't sound as good as my old stuff, I tell them, "I would never sound as good as I first sounded, because you guys didn't know who I was. Being that I'm in rotation, you guys are getting used to the sound, so now you expect another track and another track, but it never happens again, no matter how hard I try."
I don't spend that much time in the studio. When I first started doing music, I was in the studio every day just trying to build my portfolio. But now, even though I haven't totally mastered my craft, I'm at a pretty high level.
After the years of me trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself, I knew I had to go back and fix some things. I can't just be super-rich or whatever and not do the right thing.
The first song I did was over a Chief Keef beat - 'Understand Me.' I did that in, like, 2011 or 2012, I think.
I was always able to get money, but now it's a little bit more money, and I manage the same way. I just want to see my family do better.
People don't really call me a rapper. They call me Mr. 'Trap Queen'. The 'Trap Queen' Guy.
If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.
I don't ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one.
There's gonna be a lot of great songs, but there ain't going to be another 'Trap Queen.'
Oh man, I would definitely love to work with Kanye on something. But it really is all up to him, so whatever he wants to do, I'm with it.
Plans never go well for me. I just live every day like I ain't gonna live the next one.
Don't let nobody tell you that you can't do it. Love what you do until you don't love it anymore. Nothing's impossible.
I just consider myself an artist. I don't really rap. I don't really sing. I just do what I feel is good, and people like it.
