Biggie is my favorite rapper, for sure. No other artist has impacted me that much.

I don't even know how to think about running out of things to talk about. Certain things are inescapable to me. I'm connected by the hip with so many things in the streets.

I feel like I'm the last rap superhero. I really do. I feel like everybody else, they seem to be a bit victimized, and I don't feel like that's me.

I felt like when I got with Kanye, and we discussed me being on G.O.O.D. Music, he just really took me to a place in regards to music that I love and music that I had made previously. We had a clear understanding of what I wanted to make, and he just seemed like he was an advocate for hardcore, uncompromising hip-hop.

No rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.

Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.
