“The way I make music, I know what I'm doing, because I been doing this for so long. This is the only thing I'm good at.”
“For me, sampling is a high art. Most people don't see it that way, but it's a beautiful thing. I wouldn't know anything about music if it wasn't for samples.”
“When I take from my influences, it's rare that I do it literally.”

“So much of rap sounds the same, and that's okay, but that means some people want something that can be the complete opposite too.”
