On her favorite "new school" rappers: "Kids from Divine Council, Earl Swearshirt, Thugger, John Poppy, Wiz, Future, Kanye still in there, Gucci still in there.”

On the tea she made for Drake: "I made Drake my cinnamon / lime surprise... Stirred it in the direction of the planet's rotation."

On what it was like working with A Tribe Called Quest: "Was heavenly. Tip and I are very close. I was greatly influenced by Tribe. Learned a lot about jazz thru Tip."

On the similarity of her album Mama's Gun to D'Angelo's Voodoo: "I think that what we have in common is that we both create movements instead of albums."

On Young Thug: "I love hugger a lot. He's grown in his art in his own lane."

On Tyler, The Creator: "Tyler is a genius. Period."

On the idea that she makes rappers better: "I think that urban legends are best kept legend. I am aloof."

On artists she might work with in the future: "I never really think about that. But when someone comes along with something in my lane, I might hop on."
