There are a lot of young black girls who I meet in my travels who don't have a lot of self-esteem. So if I communicate to them that they're beautiful, no white person should find fault in that. It doesn't mean that young white girls aren't beautiful, because they are just as beautiful.
Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!
You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.
God surrounded me with the right team, with the team that I needed to help me exercise all of my ideas. You need that. You need that army, you need that force.
Consequence is no coincidence.
I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.
We don't want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.
When you're young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I've graduated from that school.
I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.
Hip-Hop started out in the heart
I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.
Place your attention 6 inches above your crown. God is breathing in and out there.
I wrote these words for everyone who struggles in their youth. Who won't accept deception instead of what is truth. It seems we lose the game, before we even start to play. Who made these rules? We're so confused. Easily led astray.
Our podium is the music. It's really important that we stay focused, because things become misconstrued in the media.
