Me and Uzi aren't friends. We used to be cool. It's not beef; it's just competition. That's all it is. We're not friends.

I want to say it's important that you vote, that you get out there.

They treat you as if you are a different kind of human or life form when you are a celebrity - as if we don't breathe the same air, or we don't bleed the same - and I hate that. I really hate that.

I don't wear anything more than once most of the time. I try not to wear the same thing twice. I have too many clothes to wear the same thing twice.

I don't think men dress to look attractive; I think they dress to look cool.

If you got the talent and the drive, there are ways to get noticed.

I feel like Soulja Boy was one of the smartest when it came to connecting with your fans and taking that to another level.

I'm out here trying to promote positivity on a global scale.

I always felt like I had something to prove. It's always been, 'I gotta show them that I can still rap. I gotta show them I can still make a hit or sell out a show.'

I was always curious about, like, how does hot sauce work? Growing up I used to wonder, 'If I touched it, was it hot?'

When I made 'Lil Boat,' my first mixtape, I didn't have a drop date, a due date. I didn't have critics rating on it; I was just making it. And then when I finished it, I dropped it at my own smoothness, at my own pace.

I had braids before. They were real long, and they were black, but my mom made me cut them for the McDonald's job. Then, when I got the job, everybody had long braids and colored hair.

I hate being alone. That's why I like being with my friends: we've got energy; we're social as hell.

Any post I do on social media, any song, anything in general - I just try to promote positivity, because I felt like there's not enough positivity going around in the world.

One thing Kid Cudi did that I always wanted to do was the crop top, but I need to get in shape if I want to do that.

Lil Boat 2' people liked, but it was all rap. Some thought it was too much.

I used to have visions of flashing lights and red carpets.

I want to help, and I wanna learn more about what's going on in the world. I just wanna be alert.

My mother always taught me a lot of important life lessons, and she would always tell me how important it was to tip. We didn't have much money, so we would tip what we could. Now, it's at the point I'm financially stable. When I'm out eating, I hope I have the cash, but if I write it on the receipt, I'll leave a big tip.

I don't really know how to describe how I got into music - it kind of just happened.

I'm like HBK. I'm like Shawn Michaels.

I've never had beer. It smells so disgusting.

I'm like the youth's big brother now. I have to be that voice for them.

I'm pretty normal. That's why I feel like I hope most teenagers can relate.

I'm the outcast of the hip-hop game.

I'm just fire.

I feel like people just try and throw a shot at me just so I can respond.

Everybody's voice matters.

I was in college and got arrested. It was a real scare for me/wake-up call/'Man, you better do something with your life 'cause you don't wanna be a bum' call. That's really why I took music serious.

I rightfully respect Killer Mike a hundred percent. He knows my father; he's known my father for years.

I'm not the best rapper; I'm not trying to be the best rapper.

I didn't think I would work for Nautica. I never thought in my life I would have a Sprite deal, never in my life did I think I would have a Target deal, ever.

I love Beyonce and Jay Z.

When you come from living in a dorm room with no clothes, no girls, no cars, and then you go to having three cars, girls, and money, you can't help but be genuinely happy that things are moving in a positive direction.

There's no way I'm not gonna have a gun, 'cause you just never know what'll go down in Atlanta. But I'd rather be able to protect myself and have the right, and not have to think about the consequences if I'm just trying to protect myself.

I ask myself all the time, 'How do I always go viral?'

I'm not a rapper; I'm an artist. And I'm more than an artist. I'm a brand.

I am honored to be chosen for this collaboration; I grew up watching Disney and using Beats headphones. Now I get to represent them both - it's unreal.

If you're a fan of me, then you know my friends, because I push them just as hard.

I'm half-and-half on school. I had fun in grade school, but when I went to college, it was the worst place I've ever been in my entire life.

My dad did not play Biggie or Tupac, so I had never heard it.

I felt love on 'Lil Boat 2.' People say my first project, 'Lil Boat,' was my best project, but I didn't feel it because I was so new, and it took a minute to grow.

I'm an emotional person. I'm not going to deny that. If I feel a certain way, I'll express it on the track.

My only goal is to impress my fans.

The old way of coming up in the game is over.

I feel like Soulja Boy was one of the smartest when it came to connecting with your fans and taking that to another level. That's how you get the real love. Someone will love you, but if they feel like they know you or they can relate to you, it's a real genuine, solid love, even when you're down.

You have to understand that your music isn't for everybody; your job isn't to please everybody.

When you're in the studio, you can't be like, 'I want to make music that everybody will like!' You have really understand your fan base, what they like, and that's what you do it for.

I want to do movies.

It was a shock to everyone when I became a rapper. Huge shock to everyone. But I knew it all along. I just didn't want to tell anybody cause then it's like, What if it doesn't work?
