Everybody likes the new guy. Being the new guy is cool. But then when you're there for a couple months, you're just the cool guy. I think I'm just the cool guy.
Being the new guy, you're gonna dress your best every day. When you're the cool guy, you gonna be like, 'Ah, I'm the cool guy anyway. I don't need to dress like that.'
There's male groupies - guys that wanna stand next to you to get to the girls. A male groupie is the worst.
You see so many musicians come and go. For me, it's really about the longevity in the music industry. It's not all about having a lot of hit records at one time.
When we came out, they just labelled us 'ratchet music' cos we said 'ratchet' a lot. Ratchet means that's it's ghetto, but I would just call the music we're making just good music.

The past is always recycled. I'm just taking what the people I looked up to did and translating it for my generation.
Any man can take a sucker punch, but if you get slapped, it's other repercussions to that.
I feel like me and YG are the closest to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg that people are gonna get.
