Quote
1
I've been around for almost 10 years in the game but somehow I still look like I'm like on my second or third album or something. So it's good cause it doesn't blow up my age.
2
I'm so devoted to my music and becoming the best artist I can be. I don't want to devote too much time to anything else before I say I've conquered that. I just wanna become bigger and I'm never satisfied with just what I am today, I just always want to be bigger. If I was Bill Gates, I would double Bill Gates. That's the mindstate you should keep in any profession, just keep striking iron and trying to get bigger and better.
3
There's no New York rapper who's out that is competing with me because first of all, I'm the best.
4
I hate to see somebody get locked up, especially someone as talented as Lil Wayne. You know Wayne is a strong figure in the hip-hop marketplace, and for him to go away for 8 months, you know it's sad for hip-hop as a whole.
5
I keep chicks in my lap, throwing me head fakes!
6
It's okay to lose your pride over someone you love. Don't lose someone you love though over your pride!
7
Everybody's not always open to everything. People have biased feelings about certain things, especially in the hip-hop world. The hip-hop world hates homosexuality.
8
You can't spell believe without a lie in the middle.

Don't keep that money waiting, it get impatient.

You can spend your time Dreaming about Living or Living your Dream.
