For me, I put Mac Dre right up there with Biggie and 'Pac as legends who have since passed on.

I'm here to make people feel like they can release stress, have a good time, be positive and live life.

Children are our future and every child deserves to have an environment where they can learn and flourish and gain knowledge.

I am used to working long hours with no sleep.

Before the money or anything, number one, it was just to put out real music, real stuff with a passion, real art.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Clams's music to me is where there's no boundaries. It was just exciting for my mind to be as free as Clams's music is.

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.

When I was growing up, man, I didn't know myself. I was striving for respect. Trying to be cool for the girls. I wasn't the biggest dude and I'm a nice guy.

I want people to smile when they hear my name.

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

I listen to music all the time. I need music and I love music and I appreciate it. It inspires me.

I actually got an invite from the 87ers, the D-League affiliate for the 76ers.

On 'Platinum Flame,' I engineered the beats myself, so I produced and engineered them. So this is getting even truer to myself, how I truly feel.

After I started based freestyling. Just spending a lot of time learning about myself and entering a higher level within my mind. I was exploring my mind, and I ended up finding the Based God.

When you're not hearing my voice, I'm working on art. So if you're not hearing me, I'm working for the people and getting inspired.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What I mean by being real is just when you are doing dance celebrations, sports celebrations, like the cooking dance or anything like that. When you're an artist, you want to always try your best to do the homework and see where it originated from.
