I've never met Eminem; you don't meet Eminem. He has his own secret service.

My favorite artist in the world is Michael Jackson, and he revolutionized the music video aspect of music.

The weird thing about rap is that you don't get compared in the same way that athletes do, even though it's probably the most competitive sport in music. In basketball, they look at a player and say: 'This guy was the best in his prime at this sport.' But in rap it's not until you're dead or retired that people think about it like that.

Depending on the story that you're telling, you can be relatable to everybody or nobody. I try and tell everybody's story.

Music can kind of make you one-dimensional. People see what's on the surface and what you rap about, and they make their decision on who you are from there.

There's nothing like doing a show at home. When you do a show in Chicago, there's just a certain love that you don't feel anywhere else; it's like home base.
