The Man That Knowz Something Knowz That He Knowz Nothing At All.
I view my hair and clothes as functional art...
The reason why you don’t see people looking like me is because I don’t encourage that. I encourage you to be you.
It’s weird, but if I decide to do an album, then the ideas start fitting themselves together. I consider myself a nice, slow burn. Plus, it’s not a race. And I have a lot to share.
From then on, I realized this is what I want to do, what I’m supposed to do: Giving energy and receiving it back through applause. I love it. That’s my world. I love it. I enjoy it. I live for it.
You don’t have to believe everything you think.
I just keep going. When the water’s too still, I start splashing around and things jump out of the water.
Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite revolutionaries. He spoke from his heart, his mind. That’s what I want to do.
What singing means to me, I never did consider myself a singer, I just let people watch me feel music and how it comes through me. I’ve worked on it and practiced a lot. I mean, music, I dance to it, and singing is just one way of getting it out of me.
I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It’s not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it’s a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.
People are uncomfortable with sexuality that’s not for male consumption.
Im a hip-hopper, and its something you live and do. It makes me angry that were misrepresented, that were being killed every day by one another, by the government, by the food we eat, the choices we make. It makes me angry because it doesnt have to be that way and it is.
I try to be honest and I keep moving.
People who say that music is dead or hip-hop is dead are refusing to evolve.
I’m a Pisces, so I’m a very closed-book kind of person.
Art is the absence of fear.
I love watching Rihanna in fashion. I like to see her take chances and risks. I like seeing Naomi Campbell in the forefront. They’re both women who stand out and use their bodies as canvases to introduce this functional art to the world. They carry it in a way that is very inspiring.
I’m just being who I am and expressing myself as everyone else does.
No one chooses to raise children alone.
I don’t think it matters what school you go to, but I think it’s important for parents to be involved. And to know that when school stops, learning continues, and to continue teaching at home.
