On why he hates some of his songs:Continue reading the full interview at LA Weekly...
"I hate all the real true songs I have, like 'Birds & the Beez,' 'Blessed.' I haven't listened to 'Blessed' since I made it. All the real true, true, true songs, no lies in them? I make those 'cause I feel like I have to make them. It needs to be done. You have to do certain records so people won't categorize you as this [rapper who talks about nothing]. To make sure they don't say that, you gotta make 'em cry at least once on the album."
On his jail time:
"I got sentenced to 180 days, but I finished it on house arrest. Jail house judges was like, 'Don't take it, it's a trap,' but I'm like, I'm with it. Get some pu**y, smoke weed, eat, take a shower. I had my peoples make me a fake workers' [document], 'cause if you have a job you can leave the house. I said I worked at the studio. I had it made! I made my baby on house arrest. I told my girl we were gonna have a baby as soon as I got outta jail and to stop taking her birth control pills. Got out, we had Joy-Joy. One try."
On spirituality:
"One of my homie's uncles was talking all this God stuff, and this ni**a was a pimp, beat on his wife. I thought he was one of the worst dudes, ugh. I came up with 'Sacrilegious' because of him. I hate people that beat on they wife and sh*t like that. Trying to preach to us, about what we doing, and we come in and hear you beatin' on your wife? [But] I believe in God. I found myself. I'm happy with myself. My daughter and her mom showed me God. My mom and I just started getting back cool again. I went like two years without seeing her. We were beefin' and sh*t. She never noticed what was really goin' on. She didn't know I was gangbanging till I went to jail."
On the best rappers:
"I hate [being compared to Kendrick]. But I'm not gonna sit here and act like Kendrick didn't help me become this artist. I learned a lot of sh*t from Kendrick. Kendrick is the man, bro. It's gonna be Jay-Z and Kendrick as the best rappers. Jay is the best rapper, hands down, dead or alive. If ni**as say he's not, I be like, yeah, right. He's 43 years old, and I still don't think I can outrap that ni**a."
