“I appreciate women so much. I think the part that they play is that I just admire women. I love every part of the woman. I think the woman is what is amazing.”

“Growing up low income and poor, I didn't have the best relationship with money.”

“I just like to see and put out what I think is beautiful. And put my swag on it, and my style, and how I feel.”

“I've seen a lot of people stealing from what I do. Some people show love and say thank you and tell me how I was an inspired for them.”

“So I got a lot of music because it's all different. I'm not just one side. I wanna show you the good, the bad, and the ugly. I wanna be as truthful as I can because I love music.”

“Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive.”

“Sometimes I'm dealing with so much business, and my mind will be so stressed, that I'll go a week without writing... But the benefit of doing everything yourself is that you get a major payoff.”

“I decided to make one of the most controversial songs that I could. I want to get under people's skin.”

“I was always a good athlete. I just gave up on football.”

“In order to get new things to rap about, you've gotta live.”

“I really like Damian Lillard, I like Iman Shumpert's raps, Stephen Jackson, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. Those are my favorite ones. I like Lonzo Ball, don't know about him as a rapper yet, but I know he's cool.”

“I'm a product of the different - whether it be institutional racialism, whether it might be growing up in a low-income area, whether it might be, you know, coming from my mother, my father. I'm a totally different person from my mother and father, but once again I'm from them. We all have our different souls, but I'm from them.”

“The Warriors are a lifestyle. I love every Warrior that stayed. They represented Oakland with pride. I love the Warriors. I love Oakland. I love the people.”

“I'm a real guy. I'm not money-laundering. I make money off music, and music is my source of income. It feels good. I'm not selling T-shirts, I'm not doing none of that other crap. Straight music.”

“I'm not paying attention to Kevin Durant. I don't have any recollection of watching him play. I can't remember how he shoots free throws.”

“Sometimes you don't go straight from high school or college and get to the NBA from there. Sometimes you have to go when you're a little bit older and try that other route like Jeremy Lin. And he made it.”

“When I was younger, I was thinking of ways I could get respect so people wouldn't bother me. I was down for whatever. I ended up going to juvenile hall, facing a good amount of time for a first-time offense.”

“I followed the 1.2 million people with my hand. Never faked anything. Never bought any followers or anything like that. So anything on my social media is a hundred percent real.”

“I can joke around and do what I want and be great in my area and play around and be the best, but when I'm with Clams, he's the greatest and amazing, so I'm going to make sure I do what I've got to do.”

“I want people to continue to be creative and to value creativity.”
