Music Was Just Played All Around Me, And I Couldn't Run From It. My Pops, He Never Learned To Sing, But He'd Have His Little Drink On The Side, And He'd Put On The Best Of His Hits - Gangster Rap Or Oldies - And He'd Sing All Day On His Mic Plugged Up To The Wall Set-up. It's A Trip. I've Just Seen That My Whole Life, So I've Always Just Had A Love For Music. By The Time I Was 13, I Really Just Jumped In It. And It's Something I Took On To Have As A Hobby.

There Are So Many People Pulling At Me At One Time - Some Want The Business, Some Want My Love, Some Just Want My Support, Just To Be There Or To Acknowledge Them The Same Way I Used To. To Be Able To Figure That Out Is An Ongoing Process, Because There's Always Another Show, Another Album, Another Moment That I Don't Want To Miss. But I'm Pacing Myself. I Hope The Powers That Be Keep Me On A Straight Course.

I Went To South Africa - Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg - And Those Were Definitely The "i've Arrived" Shows. Outside Of The Money, The Success, The Accolades ... This Is A Place That We, In Urban Communities, Never Dream Of. We Never Dream Of Africa. Like, "damn, This Is The Motherland." You Feel It As Soon As You Touch Down. That Moment Changed My Whole Perspective On How To Convey My Art.

As I've Grown As An Artist, I've Learned That My Mission Statement Is Really Self-expression. I Don't Want Anybody To Classify My Music. I Want Them To Say, "this Is Somebody Who's Recognizing His True Feelings, His True Emotions, Ideas, Thoughts, Opinions, And Views On The World, All On One Record." I Want People To Recognize That And To Take It And Apply It To Their Own Lives. You Know What I'm Saying?

Whatever Pressure I Feel All Comes From Me, From Within. I Always Was That Person Who Was Hard On Myself And Challenged Myself No Matter What I Was Doing, Whether It Was Passing Third Grade Or Playing Basketball.

Everybody Has Their Own Way Of Hearing Songs. My Fans Are Usually Pretty On Point. Sometimes They Go All The Way To The Bottom Of It. It's Fascinating To Me How Far An Idea Can Go. I Wrote Most Of My First Album In My Mom's Kitchen, And Now I Can Go Around The World And Hear People Recite Those Lyrics, And Understand The Story, Even Though They're Not From The Same Area I Grew Up In.

I Am A Sinner....who's Probably Gonna Sin Again...lord Forgive Me!

The Message I'm Sending To Myself - I Can't Change The World Until I Change Myself First.

I Always Thought Money Was Something Just To Make Me Happy. But I’ve Learned That I Feel Better Being Able To Help My Folks, ’cause We Never Had Nothing. So Just To See Them Excited About My Career Is More Of A Blessing Than Me Actually Having It For Myself.

And I'm Not Sure Why I'm Infatuated With Death, My Imagination Is Surely An Aggravation Of Threats... Maybe Cause I'm A Dreamer, And Sleep Is The Cousin Of Death, Really Stuck In The Scheme Of Wondering When I'mma Rest.

When You Go On Your Twitter Or Look Down Your Timeline And It's All Great Positivity - I Love That. But At The Same Time, It Can Really Divert You From What Your Purpose Is Or What You're Trying To Do. And I've Seen Artists Get Caught Up In That.

My Rights, My Wrongs, I Write ‘til I’m Right With God.

Sometimes You Have The Trends That's Not That Cool. You May Have Certain Artists Portraying These Trends And Don't Really Have That Lifestyle, And Then It Gives Off The Wrong Thing. And It Becomes Kinda Corny After Awhile. It's Really About Keeping Hip-hop Original And Pushing Away The Corniness In It.

Being Able To Tell One From Start To Finish, And Making That Puzzle Come Together At The End. That's The Art For Me.

Life Will Put Many Red Lights In Front Of You, But Sometimes We Must Push On The Gas And Trust God

K. Dot Was A Kid Who Was Trying To Find Himself In Music, Finding Trends, Um, Bending Towards - Ready To Bend Towards What The Industry Was Telling Me To Do And After You Mature At A Certain Time In Your Life, You Come Into Your Own...your Own Niche, Your Own Personality, Not Only As An Artist But As A Person.

It's The Beauty In Her, But When The Makeup Occur, I Don't See It, All I See Is A Blur

Poetic Justice, Poetic Justice.. If I Told You That A Flower Bloom In A Dark Room Would You Trust It. I Mean I Write Poems In These Songs.

I Went Back And Studied The Game, Was A Student Of The Game And Worked On My Craft And Dedicated Myself, You Know? A Lot Of My Music Revolves Around Me Growing Up In Compton. I Want To Tell A Different Story That's Never Been Told Before, Of A Good Kid In A Mad City.

African American

The Opposite Of Love? Vice. Temptation. The Negative Influences That We Have. The Bad Energy That Comes Around Us And Makes Us Do Certain Things. To Me, It's Always Been A War Between The Two.

You Grow Up Inside These Neighborhoods And These Communities, And You Have Friends, Friends That You Love, Friends That You Grew Up With Since Elementary. And You Have Their Trust, And You Have Their Loyalty. So It Brings Influence. So No Matter How Much Of A Leader I Thought I Was, I Was Always Under The Influence, Period.

I'd Rather Not Live Like There Isn't A God Then Die And Find Out There Really Is Think About It

The More I Started Going Through My Own Things In Life, My Faith Got Put To The Test, And I Had To Believe That God Is Real In My Heart, My Lord And Savior Jesus Christ, And I Can't Run From That.

And I Will Continue To Put More Of A Spiritual Nature In My Music.

You Don't Hear No Artists From Compton Showing Vulnerability.

When I Go Into The Studio - It [words] Has To Sound The Way I Heard It In My Head. So That's Probably One Of The Biggest Things That Separates Me When I'm Working In The Studio - Just How I Hear Certain Things.

Colorism Is Not A Good Thing, Especially When You're Black.

We All, We All Good People Just Trying To Escape The Negative Influence That Come Around Us And That's The Story Of My Life, You Know? Trying My Best To Get Around The Ills And I Bumped My Head A Few Times But I Think, You Know, Music Is My Savior For Right Now, For Me And My Whole Group.

At First, I Was Scared To Show Fear Because You Can Never Be Sure How People Will Perceive You. But I Dared Myself To Do That, To Stand Out. Now I'll Talk About Being Beaten Up Or Robbed Or Making A Stupid Decision Because Of A Girl Or Whatever.

I Really Focus On What My Fans Will Take From It, People Living Their Day-to-day Lives. At The End Of The Day, The Music Isn't For Me; It's For People Who Are Going Through Their Struggles And Want To Relate To Someone Who Feels The Same Way They Do. I've Got To Go All-in, Expressing Myself, Right There In The Moment.

It's A Long Time Coming As Far As The Work That I Put In. Now I Know That I Got The Stamp But What Counts Is What Comes Behind. That's What's Really Important.

I Like To Let Things Breathe.

The More People I Meet, The More Cultures I Start To Embrace, The More People I Open Myself Up To - It's A Growing Process I'm Excited About. But It's Also A Challenge For Me, To Be At This Level And Still Be Able To Connect With Somebody Who's Living That Everyday Life. At First It Was Something I Struggled With, Because Everything Was Moving So Fast. I Didn't Know How To Digest It. The Best Thing I Did Was Go Back To The City Of Compton, To Touch The People Who I Grew Up With And Tell Them The Stories Of The People I Met Around The World.
