We've got a lot of people that support, but The Runners are definitely one of my favorites.
I had this one rock band I used to listen to, but I forgot the name of them.
Not only my favorite producers, but those are actually brothers, they're part of our We The Best family. To me, they're the biggest guys out, and the music they produce and the records they put out are phenomenal records.
That Scarface movie is just ruthless! His state of mind was like, "Yo, we're gonna get it - we're gonna get this money, we're gonna get this, get that."
I could go old-school; I listen to a lot of old-school music, like Teddy Pendergrass, the Temptations, people like that. I'm an old-school dude, and I'm vibin' with stuff like that to clear my mind. I like listening to that old-school music.
My favorite movie, one of 'em is [Notorious]. I love Scarface as well. I've got a lot of mob movies.
We've got goals we're trying to reach, and "Overtime" is the only way to do it, and "Champion" is the only thing we're tryin' to be.
I like to expand myself as far as watching movies.
I'm tryin' to build myself bigger than just Ace Hood, I'm tryin' to build myself as a bigger brand - open up clothing lines, colognes.
Even though I'm out there as an artist, I continue droppin' mixtapes, I continue doin' this and continue showin' DJs love personally. That's why I continue doin' a lot of things other artists don't do.
Regardless of what people say, that's what they gotta bang in their heads: Ace Hood is the future. You ain't got nobody else in my lane.
I'm a young dude, and there ain't too many people who are doin' it like I'm doin' it. There ain't no others in my lane - I am the future of this music.
I wanted "Champion" to accompany that whole growth situation, 'cause I feel like, if you go overtime, you will become a champion.
In order to perfect your craft, you've gotta go hard, you've gotta go overtime.
The budgets are runnin' low, the streets ain't really got money no more, things are just dryin' up; I just felt like people needed some motivation, so I took 'em "Overtime."
I just wanted to let people know that, in any aspect in which you're getting' money, you've gotta go overtime in order to provide for your loved ones or those who are around you. So that was my state of mind.
I wanted people to feel me as a person. I do this music for the people, man, so at the end of the day I feel like, [given] our state of mind and the state our economy is in, I felt like we needed motivation for the type of situation we're in nowadays.
There's a lot of people that try to come between my clique and try to stop what we're doin', but we got no mercy for 'em.
We're gonna keep on doin' what we're doin', and we're gonna get it by all means. That's just what "ruthless" means to me. Everybody's got their own definition, but I'm ruthless with this music.
It's a lot of people that's tried to stop my grind, there's been a lot of hate, but even more love.
What I wanted with that Ruthless state of mind,: just to show people who I am as a person and why I do what I do, and why I go as hard as I do go.
Through my life, [there have been] a lot of devils and a lot of situations, so I'm just goin' hard, maintaining, regardless of what people got to say about Ace Hood.
People acceptin' me for me, people lovin' my music was big for me.
I still follow that model: just go hard every day, and take it one step at a time.
I would just encourage any artist to stay focused, of course keep God first, and just keep working hard. Try to outwork those who you idolize.
