When I was in Japan on tour in 2010, I felt like I was 30 years into the future. I love technology and they are so advanced with their phones, computers, everything. I think they had the iPhone way before we did in the U.S. I love gadgets, games, social media and I try to stay ahead on all that stuff, but they get it all first.

Soulja Boy is on his dance, down south, young, 18-year-old, comedic swag. It's really just each person's personality; if every rapper had the same swag, it would be kind of boring.

Hopped up out the bed / Turn my swag on

If I'm going to make music for the streets or the clubs or whatever, I go at it with 110 percent.

Ladies love a man with shirt off, so my shirt stays off

Now that I'm in the position I'm in now, I like to take all my creative ideas and put 'em on the Internet for my fans to interact with. Give 'em something to do.

The Internet had been a BIG help with my career. My advice to musicians, Internet is the key. It gets your music heard all across the world.

Traveling around is what I Like to Do. Me And my boy Arab we live on the road. Doing shows is what I love to do. I put my heart and soul on the track and I Love the response I get.
