Fans are all I care about - to be honest. If they stop coming to the shows, then I will get worried.
I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.
Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.
I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music; it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.
My fans are like no other. Completely original people.
I don't go to clubs and throw money and pop bottles. That's not my thing, no disrespect.
This is hip-hop. If you've got something you want to rap about, just rap about it, man.
You don't want to get stuck with a record that you've done with someone that you feel obligated to put out - that's not really dope, just because you made an effort to get together and work.
Yela represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. Wolf speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.
Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.
How many ya'll parents smoke weed? My momma still grows illegal weed in Alabama.
I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.
Anyone can relate to struggle, whether you're European or Asian. Anyone can relate to having to get up and go to work and eat.
Where I'm from is like 'Hustle Flow' versus '8 Mile.' It's that really grimy, box-Chevy, dope-boy, working-class music.
