commercial fuse music trying
I'm trying to fuse popular and commercial music and just make very creative music. It's popular music: it's everything for everybody.
boast places record trying
I'm not on a record like some rapper trying to boast about my clothes or where I'm from. I'm creating stories, experiences, the way places make me feel, the way a person makes me feel.
trying uniforms pants
I like to keep a uniform - wear a blazer, try to keep the same colour pants; very tailored, very fitted but still edgy.
cousin trying internet
While my cousins were gang-banging, I was trying to learn what the Internet was about.
corner grew
Brooklyn, where I grew up, is a competitive burg - there's always a pretty boy around the corner there, and you gotta look better than him.
brands consumed couple face fun people recognize starting sure
Brands are in your face 24/7; I'm sure you've consumed a couple brands today. So it's fun working with them. People recognize brands, and people are starting to recognize my brand.
best songs
'Billie Jean' was a negative dance song, and that was one of the best dance songs ever.
checking fans girls huge saying twitter
DMX wasn't checking what his fans were saying to him on Twitter or Facebook. Jay-Z is on a boat in Saint-Tropez. I'm hands-on. Girls write to me like I'm their diary. That's a huge responsibility. I don't take it for granted.
helps morning wake
To wake up in the morning and just know what I'm going to wear, it helps me get out of the house faster.
people
Just because 50,000 people on the Internet know me, I'm not patting myself on the back at the end of the night.

I collect different game hats, like Syracuse Women's Volleyball; I have a Navy Basketball hat. They're all vintage but in new condition.
people
Let's see: I'm into a whole bunch of different people - Alexander Wang... that's my dude.
few films inspired jack modern movies since skin watch
I have a few friends that have inspired me since I was a young kid. When I watch old films or modern movies - particularly 'Gladiator,' 'New Jack City' and 'The Skin I Live In' - I'll also get ideas.
texts
I hate writing texts to girlfriends because you can't really see emotions in texts. You can get confused on what she says.
