When people say to me 'what do you think of rap music?' my answer is there's no such thing. There's rap and there's music.

I come from the golden age of hip hop when all the greats came on the scene.
I'm listening to early Cash Money, I'm listening to Juvenile, I'm listening to Waka Flocka, I'm listening to Lil B, I'm listening to Brandy, Kanye - that's my home playlist.
I have tried... believe me, I have tried to like rap music. It makes me feel so very, very old. I have tried to get home with the downies.
When I started picking out music for myself, I was a hip-hop kid. DMX, The Roots, Outkast, people like that.
Who doesn't love Tupac? Those records have such swagger to them. The groove is just incredible.
There was so much music growing up. But definitely Lil Wayne was a big influence because I had more of an understanding of what I was listening to when I was getting older.
I'm a big hip-hop fan since being a kid. It was the first music that spoke to me and made me feel like, 'Yeah.'
