I'm happy with my success.
— YG
I just feel like, as time go by, I'm realizing certain stuff, and I see certain stuff not happening. I'm just steppin' up.
I love the fans and the supporters.
I was in a situation where I was a West Coast artist signed to an East Coast label.
Stress come with life, period, bro.
I'm bringing what Snoop and Dre was bringing to the game.
I have to have homies around me at all times.
I got a platform and a game. I got, like, people who look up to me, who listen to me.
I had a daughter, and that's a good thing.
I'm paranoid.
On the 'Blacks & Browns' record, it's me and Sad Boy. He's a Hispanic artist, and we're talking about what we got going on with our peoples.
The first album was going to be called 'I'm from Bompton,' and then I changed it to 'My Krazy Life.'
I ain't come from money.
I been in the streets for a long time. They know me. They see me. They heard stories.
I went vegan.
I'm a rapper, not a singer.
The streets made me who I am.
On God, when you come to New York, it's, like, work.
I'ma stay consistent. I'ma deliver. And I'ma keep using my platform to uplift people who I feel got what it take or deserve it or just - you feel me?
I had parties in church halls. My mama knew people that had venues and all that, and I knew a lot of people from forever. I was always popular growing up. She used to get me the spots, and I used to have parties. Probably about 300, 400 people.
I was in jail, and I got signed three months later.
I want to do - I want to be putting out classic stuff that's gonna stick and last forever, you feel me?
Out of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I would rather Clinton be president, but just overall, I would rather Obama have a third term.
I have a house in Hollywood with a studio in it.
Everybody gotta vote. I can't go tell you who you should vote for because I don't know what you got going on or what you tryna get.
I'm saying us - our culture, our race, our people - we need to do better.
I love my daughter.
I really live my life looking over my shoulder.
I can't tell you who to vote for, because you have to do your homework to see who you connect with and see what they're pushing.
I'm trying to make sure my kids' kids got paper.
Def Jam was always trying to get me to put out an album because I had 'Toot It and Boot It.'
I don't want to make people think too much.
I have trust issues. For reasons, though - plenty of reasons.
My family is always praying for me.
New York is turnt. It's really like 25 hours out here. 25/8.
I got two clothing lines - I got the 4hunnid clothing, and I got the Bompton clothing.
I was spending my own money on videos, spending my own money on radio, doing all that.
I feel like when you successful, it's more stress 'cause it's more stuff you dealin' with.
I worked on 'Who Do You Love?' for, like, six months, really trying to, like - when I got it, I got it, but I was working on it for a minute cause I never had nothing to it. I couldn't get the flow or nothing. Then I just got it.
My music is just me, something people are gonna turn up to; the girls are gonna dance.
Before Mustard was even making beats, he was my DJ. He was doing all my shows with me before I was even cracking, back in, like, '08, '09.
People look at me like YG the turnt-up dude, hit singles and all that. And, yeah, that's me, but I'm for my people, too.
They try to make it seem like trouble follows me, but since my first album came out, I ain't had nothing happen at my show that had something to do with me.
I appreciate breathing and smelling and seeing.
Be yourself and set the trend. Don't follow.
It's not our land; it's not made for us. It's America. That's how it was designed. We came here as slaves. It wasn't designed for us to win.
My mom and her whole side of the family, they all from Compton.
It's hard to stay vegan and eat right when you're moving around so much, but I've been off that alkaline water heavy, though.
I'm a storyteller... a preacher.
My heart is numb. It's not broke, it's numb. It's numb because of hard situations.
