If your job is inspiration you have to go at it at all costs.
50 is Eminem's favourite rapper... I'm my favourite rapper.
Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration, and we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place.
I feel that I'm very blessed. But with great blessings come great responsibility.
You basically can say anything to someone on an email or text as long as you put LOL at the end.
I refuse to accept other people's ideas of happiness for me. As if there's a 'one size fits all' standard for happiness.
If everything I did failed - which it doesn't, it actually succeeds - just the fact that I'm willing to fail is an inspiration. People are so scared to lose that they don't even try. Like, one thing people can't say is that I'm not trying, and not I'm not trying my hardest, and I'm not trying to do the best way I know how.
I ain't here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way yall need Jesus.
I am a God, so hurry up with my damn massage; in a French-ass restaurant, hurry up with my damn croissants.
It's like this, by not giving my album a classic rating, you diminish your magazine's credibility. And that's real.
This one Corbusier lamp was like, my greatest inspiration ... I'm a minimalist in a rapper's body.
Michael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference. It's so much going on in music right now and somebody has to make a difference.
I'm a monster, I'm a maven, I know this world is changin'. Never gave in, never gave up, I'm the only thing I'm afraid of.
I'm a creative genius and there's no other way to word it.
