The best Christmas that l had was probably when I got my Xbox. When I first got an Xbox, it was, like, the very first Xbox when it came out.Collection: Christmas
I fear God. If my time comes, my time comes.Collection: Fear
Darkness is important. If you were having fun all the time, you wouldn't know what dark is.
If it's not Fiji water, we don't want it.
I think being sensitive gives you powers. You get the logic and the flexibility of emotions.
I'm a weirdo, but everybody's weird in some kind of way.
I started adapting, and that's how I've been able to stay afloat all these years. It's important to be adaptable.
I'm not saying I'm trying to be the best. I'm gonna be the best. The best me ever. To the point where I can't lose at being me. I can't lose that life.
As an Aquarius, I was born an outsider. I'm awkward at social events. I can be social, but I feel like nobody truly understands who I am.
No matter who you are, you're gonna feel alienated by somebody.
My upbringing and my daily day-to-day struggles and emotions make up most of my music.
Fans don't know what they want. Fans are like, 'Oh, I want the stuff that you did in the last album because I really liked it, and if you don't do that, I'm not going to be your fan no more.' Or they'll be like, 'I didn't like that project. He doesn't sound like him on it,' or 'You're wack. You're mainstream now.'
With 'Clout Cobain,' when I made the song, I knew what I wanted to say. But I was gonna say it in a way where people could understand it.
Always be true to you. But learn how to adapt, too. That's something I wish I did when I was younger.
Didn't really go to no high school parties, man.
I never wanted to perform like a rapper.
When I started using SoundCloud, it was just becoming a thing.
'Threatz' was when I stepped into my own as an individual and one of the first songs we put on SoundCloud.
Raider Klan was crazy because we all had our own personalities and our own little worlds when it came down to this music. It was the first step to creating your own weird little universe.
'Imperial' is me attempting to reach my ultimate form and to introduce a lifestyle of truth to my fans, be honest with yourself, and you will grow, ULT.
If you look at 'Threatz' and 'Parents,' then you look at 'Zone 3,' all of that is nostalgic.
I live more than a double life, honestly. I have so many personalities, I live more than a double life.
I listen to Robb Bank$, not only because he is a South Florida native, but that's my homeboy. I listen to him frequently.
I listen to most South Florida rappers.
I've learned there's a difference between friends and associates.
I went from following people to being on my own. Once I was on my own, I watched people start liking me, and I watched people stop liking me. Everything was supposed happen. It was all supposed to reveal itself.
I grew up in Carol City, Zone 3, for 19 years, in a house with four brothers, a mother and a father.
My parents were really into music. They would play the Funkadelics, Parliament, OutKast; they would just play that all around the house. They'd also play Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, James Brown.
I used to do poetry in elementary school. I used to just write.
If I have a message to send, I'm going to send it in the most creative and yet crazy way I can.
White man get money - stay rich, kids get rich. Black man get money - it's the countdown till, 'When is this brother gonna go broke?' I'm not going broke.
People wanna escape the truth sometimes.
I'm not tryna save no one. I just hope my music helps, and I hope the message that's behind it helps people, you feel me?
If shoes are brought to my attention, and I like them, I'm going to rock them for a long time.
I'm sponsored by Nike and stuff.
I was the type of kid that wrote all over my shoes.
'Nostalgic' was just all my influences and me just being like, 'Yo, I'm going to be the hardest one out of everybody.'
I've proved with 'TA13OO' that I'm versatile as hell.
You can't expect somebody to speak out on a certain subject. If they want to say something about it, then say something about it. But artists have a choice. It's their choice. I choose the stuff I talk about, but it's not my responsibility to do it.
The thing about abuse is it's just a cycle of hatred. The person who is gonna abuse you has been abused, and he continues that same cycle of hatred.
People used to laugh at me like, 'Hahaha, you can rap? You? We don't believe it!'
Carol City has its hot moments, and it has its cool moments. If you were from one area of Carol City, people didn't mess with you.
I'm very optimistic about the future.
Everybody was down on me saying I can't rap, so I wanted to show everybody that I could actually do this. That's what motivated me.
I just feel like nobody truly understands who I am as a person. They think it's one thing, but they get another. I feel like nobody fully comprehends who I am as a person, as a man, as a living organism in this world.
I want to get better at freestyling, to be writing better songs.
Me, l'm a weird person, so my music is kind of weird, but l want my music to be weird.
I started finishing 'Nostalgic' while trying to graduate at the same time. I graduated from high school, got my diploma, and my life just started when I completed 'Nostalgic 64.'
I always loved music, and really, I've been rapping since I was, like, 12.
Without Spaceghostpurrp, you wouldn't have people like Seshollowaterboys - you wouldn't have people like me; you wouldn't have people like ASAP - if it weren't for him.
