"I might be Makaveli on this sh*t, like I just don't give a f*ck what I say...love me or hate me that's where I'm at. That's my whole mind state.

"I'm d*mn sure about to express myself on this album so any of the things that I've been through that you might be judging me on or feeling like oh, he should do this or he shouldn't do that, I'ma let you know how I feel. But at the same time I'm definitely going to give you some of that sh*t that the streets going to love, the sh*t's going to stay in the club and [I'm also gonna give you] that get money music cause that's what I do best. I'm going in." (VIBE)
Jeezy recently talked about the Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur legacies.

"Pac and Big gone...They no more. Only thing you can hear is they voice, my n*gga, and you know what they voice telling me? You gotta keep it moving, man. F*ck the dumb sh*t...I'm four albums in. How many albums Big have, two? He ain't make it that far. So I'm already ahead of the game...I feel like the last Mohican dawg...I feel like the last man standing. I done seen it, I done done it. I done smelt it...I know what I am. But I know what I'm not about to become. I gotta stand for something, man. Who better." (BET's Sound Off)
