I have to stay in my lane and focus on what I have to do and listen to what the coaches are telling me to do. They’re going to make sure I’m prepared on game day.
When everything is coming your way, you’re probably in the wrong lane.
Some people say I’m conscious, some say I’m a gangsta rapper – it’s just me doing me. I’m stomping in my own lane. I’m doing what I do.
Moving forward, hopefully the platform my career has given me will allow me to continue to be a voice in culture, whether that’s doing lectures on campus or writing books or whatever that looks like. I feel like that’s really the lane that I uniquely connect with.
Now I’m just a threat. I’m a threat out there. Guys are running out at me, and I’m able to either give them a pump fake or let it fly. Guys are going over the screens, and I’m able to get into the lane and find my teammates a lot better. It just makes things a lot easier for me.
When you’re from the East Coast or you’re from the South, people expect you to sound a certain way. So if you don’t sound that way, people won’t label you as that type of artist. For me, I had a whole new lane to create for myself being from Pittsburgh and being a Midwest artist.
It’s either you finna create your own wave, you finna sound like me or you finna sound like G Herbo, you finna sound like Chance The Rapper, you finna sound like Juice Wrld. You ain’t gonna get too far ’cause you sound like somebody. So, create your own lane and do your own style.
Curtis Martin just has to be Curtis Martin, and whatever that is, that’s good enough. He doesnt have to be Clark Kent or Lois Lane.
We’ve changed a lot of things to help certain groups of people. We widened the lane from 6 feet to 12 feet to 16 feet to make it so the big guys aren’t as dominant. Well, why didn’t we just say, ‘You’ve got to learn to play against them in the post?’
I went up a straight crooked lane and, I said ‘No thanks, yes if yer please.
When I draw defenders into the lane, it’s easy for me to kick it out.
I first learned what a rivalry really was at White Hart Lane.
Perceptions really do define what our realities are. What we’re hoping to do with ‘Atlanta’ is to really shatter that. To shatter it completely wide open. To go from the furthest lane of absurdity to the furthest lane of reality and make them blend.
I feel like I’m just trying to pave my own lane and just kind of make my own sound.
I actually have a young readers’ series that I wanna do, kind of in the same lane as a Harry Potter or Narnia or Twilight. I want to write stuff like that.
I like moments of staleness and mildew, simply because it creates the lane for change.
Life’s not fair, is it? Some of us drink champagne in the fast lane, and some of us eat our sandwiches by the loose chippings on the A597.
Iris is the Lois Lane of ‘The Flash.’ It’s a really special role. Knowing they were willing to offer it to an African American – Iris is traditionally white – I knew how important this would be for so many people.
Carla Lane’s ‘Butterflies’ seemed to be on in our house at all times when I was a kid, as did ‘The Good Life.’ But it was ‘Fawlty Towers that made me really sit up for the first time. Basil’s incandescent rage made me howl.
I hate when I get pinned down to a genre. I have a sound, a lane I want to go down, but I never want to be stuck in my song choices.
