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.
I feel like me and YG are the closest to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg that people are gonna get.
Any man can take a sucker punch, but if you get slapped, it's other repercussions to that.
The past is always recycled. I'm just taking what the people I looked up to did and translating it for my generation.
I want my hands in all the pots and not just one. I want to make the right moves that'll put me in the right place.
I just wanted to do my own albums where nobody could tell me what to do. Roc Nation was the perfect fit because I could do what I wanted to do.
