If you look back, you get stuck in a year. I've seen rappers and singers get stuck in 2002 or 2005, and they can't get out.
I fell in love with music at 13-years-old. I wanted to be a singer at first and a drummer. Then I fell in love with rap music.
I love Linkin Park; that's one of my favorite groups, that I went to all their concerts. I love those guys, man. They do, like, pop-rock, know what I'm saying?
I want to meet Denzel Washington when I go to the Oscars. Every man wants to see Halle Berry in person. And, you know, Dolly Parton... I wouldn't mind seeing Dolly Parton. She's from Tennessee, I'm from Tennessee.
I kick it when I kick it, but I definitely take care of business. I make sure everything is tight, my finances are tight, my family is tight, my friends are perfect.
I just want people to hear me and my story.
I'm just raising money. Dead presidents are my relatives.
I listen to all kinds of music. I love underground, new music that's popping.
I've got a lot of songs about having fun and partying, but it's a lot of work.
I want to be the president of Columbia Records, maybe C.E.O. - kind of like L.A. Reid.
We all can't shine at the same time.
Everything is going so great. I can't complain.
What can I say? I'm just a relevant dude. It's just natural. My hunger's still there. I still keep my ear to the streets. I record every song like it's my last. I just love music. I'm blessed.
I used to read music books when I was 13. My mom was working at a library. She's a librarian. I would get my mom to check out any kind of books that had anything to do with the music industry. I read a lot about royalities, publishing, marketing, stuff like that.
