I see myself as a hip-hop artist, but I never wanted to make music for a specifically white audience. That's not what I grew up around.
I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.
My mom was a single parent.
Touring is starting to feel more like home than home does.
When you're around somebody like E-40, all you can do is watch and learn, and soak up game.
Keeping in touch with the people that matter is important.
I hate picking out clothes.
I'm on Tumblr all the time.
Word of mouth is the most valuable form of marketing, but you can't buy it. You can only deliver it. And you have to really deliver.
You have this ability in hip hop to be invincibly cool, and that is a part of G-Eazy.
I'm not on the radio all day long. I'm not on TV.
My whole career has been from scratch, so I never took it for granted that people care and support what I do.
Something I stand for is being brave enough to invest in creative ideas that I firmly believe in and bringing those to life.
It was inspiring to see local legends like E-40 and Keak da Sneak break out with 'Tell Me When to Go.'
Music isn't selling like it used to, but the one thing you can't steal or download is a live show experience or a T-shirt.
I grew up with the Pack. When they released 'Vans,' it was a seeing-is-believing moment.
I like to have a lot of girls over and play loud music.
I love the road. The closest thing to home, for me, is being on a tour bus, ironically.
I played shows in front of like 25, 50 people, and it's a lot harder to do your thing in front of a crowd that's small.
I remember, when I was ten, I wanted to look like Em. I had the bleached blonde hair.
I stick with a '60s vintage aesthetic of letterman's jackets, plain T-shirts, and good jeans.
I think being a rock star is a little bit different than being an athlete or even a movie star.
I think when you're telling a story from inside of you that's genuine, people connect with it.
I think you should always push yourself to want to grow and learn more and be inspired and develop.
I think, back in the day, when I was first starting to make music, all I wanted to do was to get a record deal.
I thought everybody unanimously hated this man. I don't know anyone who was like, 'Go Trump.' I was surprised.
I wanted to make an album that plays from the top to bottom and feels together and complete. That's just something that felt important.
