I want to be Kanye and do what he does musically. I'm very fearless.

I just respect Kanye as an artist.

I'd love to work with Kanye West. He's gone through a lot of stuff in the public eye, but his music is genius. He always takes risks.

My favorite artists are Kanye West, Jay Z, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child.

I'm very obsessed with not being perfect.

It's weird to me when an artist comes in, and the label says, 'We want him to sound like Chris Brown,' but he says he wants to sound like Sean Paul. There's a huge disconnect - it's like we're making a product.
