I'm a felon. I get pulled over all the time.
-
I have trouble with letting go. That's my problem.
-
I don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.
-
Rap was more of a release for me, a journal.
-
I just always wanted to study human behavior because every psychologist that I would talk to would tell me I was bipolar, and I know I'm not bipolar, so I had to perform a psychoanalysis on myself to find out that I have unresolved grief.
-
Sometimes I feel like being an intellectual. Sometimes I like to just be aggressive and all the way in my feelings. Sometimes I might be emotional, or sometimes I might drag on the track and be lazy. I just like to share the different states of existence of Kevin Gates with the rest of the world.
-
In 7th grade, I believe, I wrote my first rap song. It was about everything I was seeing, everything that was going on around me.
-
Marriage is the most wonderful thing ever.
-
I'm super serious about music. That's, like, the only thing I'm serious about.
-
I've had mixtapes that have been better than albums I've heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.
-
I did study religion for a little while. I studied the Torah and the Holy Koran, Helios Biblos, which is considered by most people to be the Holy Bible. I just wanted to know, even with Buddhism and the Dalai Llama.
-
I always had music growing up, but music was also like a journal. It was like my personal diary or personal journal. A lot of the things I couldn't express to an individual, I would express them in my music.
-
I look at other people's lives, and some people feel like they're too old to play with toys. But I still go through the toy section at the store, 'cause there were toys that I wanted when I was little that I couldn't have. So I still get them.
-
I'm not no Internet person.
-
I don't just listen to rap.
-
Man, all lives matter.
-
I'm never on Twitter. I'm never on Instagram. And that's not by choice: it's just that those things never really interested me. I might post a picture here and there, but that ain't really been my focus.
-
I don't want no handouts. I want to get it out the mud.
-
I have a cult-like following because I exemplify what it is to be a human being.
-
I'm a bookworm. I know with my physical appearance that I don't look like the typical reader. I'm in Barnes & Noble all the time, and you can look at people that look like they are supposed to be in there. I am in there, pants sagging, hat backwards.
-
I used to really love Fiend, but he stopped. He just stopped. Every time he had a project, every project - 'There's One In Every Family,' 'Street Life' - I had to have them. And he just stopped. And that was disappointing, 'cause that was my favorite rapper at one time.
-
When you stand for something, you've got to stand for it all the way, not half way.
-
I was doing sold-out shows before I got radio play.
-
I always knew who I was, and I always ran from my true purpose... I know what my job is. And I always ran from it.
