Fans are all I care about - to be honest. If they stop coming to the shows, then I will get worried.

I'm from the South, and there's a different understanding of how to chop. There's a syllable play. It's a delicate art. Your accent has a lot to do with it. If you're from a certain area, words don't roll of your tongue as slick.

You learn how to be an individual quick after 15 schools, man. After the first five or six, you realize you're always gonna be the new kid.

The way I perceive an album to sound and the way I put out mixtapes are two different energies. There's a different focus; there's a different sound.

I don't go to clubs and throw money and pop bottles. That's not my thing, no disrespect.

I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.

Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.

You can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.

I don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.

I'm not ashamed of anything that I've done because when I did it, I was passionate about it and I was doing it for a reason.

I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.

I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.
