“I was a real avid 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' fan. I think I may know every episode.”
“'Rather You Than Me' just speaks for my natural instinct to survive, but it's also me being a writer, me being a poet - there's also a beautiful side to 'Rather You Than Me.'”
“My mom's the best.”
“Five years before 'Port of Miami,' I was to a point where I may have even felt like quitting... the style and the wordplay of my lyricism was more complex than what Miami was used to.”
“Miami is a party city, a go-fast city.”
“MMG for life.”
“I think we all have a right to bear arms, whichever amendment that is.”
“There's always money to get.”
“When I was coming up in Miami, the music in the city at the time sounded completely different. I loved it, but it just wasn't the type of music I wanted to make. I wanted my wordplay to be more sophisticated. I wanted the sound to be more lush. I wanted my music to sound like who I was and aspired to be - boss.”
“Being your best can only enhance your personal performance.”
“Anybody that really know me know that I love to make a lot of content, make a lot of music.”
“I feel like I can make records where, you know, I can get in the alley and exchange bars with Styles P, but I can also get in the studio and create a classic with Rihanna.”
“I used to eat big meals at 2 A.M. and base it on my schedule. But I don't do that no more.”
“When you walk in a room, the room should feel that this guy's different. What does he do? Who is he? And that's confidence, not cockiness.”
“I created MMG years ago. My desire was to create a space where the most talented artists in the world could be nurtured and supported. With that came a commitment. I vowed to support these artists through the good and the bad.”
“I embraced EDM from the beginning.”
“I ain't trying to keep up with the trends - the hats, the hair colours, the dress codes.”
“I'm a big chicken guy, and Wingstop chicken wings are my number one go-to, so I just got involved with the company. I purchased a few franchises myself. I like to consider myself a global brand ambassador.”
“Where I come from - it's nothing to glorify.”
“Def Jam is an iconic label.”
