Lil B

“I think for me, I get so much love that it balances or overpowers the hate. When I started making music, it was kind of flawless for me. I didn't get any hate early in my hip-hop career.”

“I'm actually going to self-produce my next tape that I'm working on, 'Platinum Frame'. This going to be my second official mixtape.”

“Now, is Lil B jealous of Kevin Durant on the basketball court? Hmm. Maybe. Maybe not. I love basketball. Do I wish I could play in front of all those people everyday, all day? Of course. I love basketball.”

“I feel like my place is to connect hip-hop... with the youth, the older, the middle. Just everybody that's listening to me. My place in hip-hop is really to just connect and show positivity. Put my vibe out there.”

“If I can really sustain myself and become a powerful entity on the internet, it'll transfer into real life. So right now I'm putting everything into the net.”

“I'm a funny guy. I want people to laugh. I laugh at myself, I make fun of myself. But at the end of the day everything that I say has a message in it.”

“You know I think with Black Lives Matter, it is extremely special and important. I definitely feel that.”

“Anybody that wants to take a picture with me I'm more than happy - I'm excited about it. I'm building that personal connection with the fans and keeping it.”

“I don't really do anything unless it's from the heart - I don't like to joke on people, or distract them from something they love.”

“I just gotta keep doing what I'm doing, and just continuing to grow and progress as an artist. People who are saying that about Lil B need to be innovative and not be tools.”

“Well, Tony Yayo is my dude. Tony Yayo is a big supporter of my music.”

“Me and Clams have always kept it organic with the way we work. It's just always the right time. It's never no pressure. He always comes through if I need him. I always come through if he needs me, and we always meet at that right time.”

“When people are hitting you off Twitter, a lot of times they don't know who you are. They're just hopping on your character and they gon' be hopping on another rapper next. You gotta weed out the real and the fake.”

“I'm a human sacrifice. I put myself out there for the people, and hopefully they take the good and the positivity from that.”

“I just want all people to be treated equally, all creeds. It would just make everybody's time on earth easier.”

“I came in the gate as an African-American poor kid wanting to be a neurosurgeon but - with American life and the places I was put due to American history and laws and the oppression of black people - I had to make it work in other ways.”

“Everything, for me, is fueled off telling my story through music, because I have a lot to say, and it's some urgent things that I have to tell to the world, and help and heal. I know my part that I have to do through music.”

“I don't support violence and I don't support negative energy. I don't support people putting other people down.”

“I don't have any contracts, so I don't have to split any money up. That was my main thing - just making sure I'm taking care of myself and taking care of Lil B. Just learning to survive, for myself and as a human in America.”

“My favorite player in the league is Klay Thompson.”
