YG and I started a long time ago back in '08, and I am proud of where we are now.

I used to go to the Church of the Harvest, right off Adams and La Brea. There was a pastor there who had the best big choir and the best band. He would start praying, and the music would start playing and just make people feel so good, you could break out of whatever you were going through. Soft music can have that effect, too.

Why do we have to have another riot?

The only thing I could be better at is to be around more. Other than that, I'm a great dad. I come to the soccer games and teach her stuff, go over her homework with her every night; we stay on the phone. I try to be as good as a dad as I can be.

I did a song with Rihanna recently, and I was like, 'How did you find out about me or whatever?' And she said, 'Drake.'

My dad put me with all the greatest people. It definitely helped me now, because I know so much more about music and composition. It's cool. I love Pops. I'm super thankful for everything he's done to help my career.

J Cole went platinum with no features, and I wanna go platinum!

I like Future, Young Thug, Mike WiLL, DJ Spinz, Metro Boomin, Drake, Kendrick.

I write other people songs. Recirculate it. It's the music business.

Bad Brains is one of my all-time favorite punk bands.

My production got better, songs, lyrics, everything; the sound, the quality, everything.

When 'Paranoid' came out, how many other 'Paranoids' came out? No shots, just real.

One day, I'm gonna make a song with John Mayer.

I make bangers all the time, and I knew it was going to come. My mom probably used to think it wasn't going to happen. My daughter's mom thought it wasn't going to happen, and a couple of girlfriends. You just gotta keep on doing it. I'm living proof.

That's where I got lucky; nobody else is doing what I do or really can do what I do.

Tell all the ladies to follow me on Snapchat. I don't want to see no guys snapping me.

Working with Babyface was legendary.

Fifth grade was when I first heard 'Smells Like Teen Spirit;' it was the energy, and his voice. I liked 311 and Sublime, too, though that might have been a little after that.

I am Mr. 'Toot it and Boot It.'

We'll get way further if we educate people and not lock them up.

I'm from L.A. South Central area.

Fifteen is around the time when my parents broke up, and all I was listening to was 2Pac.

I'm gonna bring Bad Brains vibes 'cos that's what I do.

Out of every other rap guy, Wiz is the most humble, down-to-earth guy, like me.

One of my uncles played in The Isleys. I went to all their shows.

I like Jaco Pastorius' 'Portrait of Tracy.' He was this bass player who played jazz fusion. He was the dopest bass player who ever lived.

J Dilla is the top producer of all time, in my book, alongside Timbaland and Pharrell. Then DJ Mustard.

It's hella crazy being included in the music for the 'Ninja Turtles' movie.

When it comes to making a song, whatever the beat tells me to do, I do.

The whole reason behind my album 'Free TC' is seeing all that police brutality, injustice, mass incarceration.

I got all the women and everything I want, but my brother is locked up. I can't leave him behind.
