Words matter. These are the best Tink Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
Singing actually came first. As a kid, I grew up singing in church and around the house.
The key to artistry is being able to say stuff the way other people can’t.
You don’t need to depend on a label, because you’re making that money on your own.
I’ve never worked hands-on with a producer. I’ve been on my own writing, just taking beats and doing what I have to do. I’ve been on my own. To have Timbaland invite me in and say that ‘I want to work with you’ is amazing. He’s a legend.
Country singers put a lot of soul into their songs, and I enjoy that.
I’ll be honest with you: before I heard Nicki rapping, I probably wouldn’t have thought to rap myself. Just to see a female doing it and being in there with the guys, it was motivation.
I know for a fact I’ve put in the same amount of hours as every up-and-coming male rapper right now, if not more. I’m a feminist with regard to my music and the music industry.
I’m not the ideal pop star, not what you see on TV. I look like I could be your best friend.
My parents are both into music. My mom sings and my dad plays piano, so there was always music everywhere. I was singing at a very young age, but I actually got my buzz through rapping.
I feel like I’m the voice for my generation, especially for women.
I’m not going to be the artist that talks about a million dollar whip and ‘I just bought some red bottoms.’ That’s cool, but that’s not all there is to it. I’d rather talk about something everyone can relate to and feel.
Chicago’s known for the drill. Keefs, Lil Durks, and whatnot. My music, on the other hand, it has a message to it. I think that’s what sets me apart. I think it gets deeper than saying anything on a trap beat. I’m putting stories together, and people are relating to what I am saying.
Working with Timbaland, you know it’s not gonna sound like anything else out there today. The sound is very next-level.
When you listen to my songs, you hear messages and real stories. That’s what’s setting me apart.
When I was 16, I was doing what was popular. If I could go back, I would tell myself to not be afraid to be alone and not to follow others so much.
I don’t like to sugarcoat. I don’t like to say things without feeling it. I like to get to the point and say exactly what I’m talking about.
As an artist, I want it to be so simple that anyone can understand it. No matter what age you are, you’re going to feel it because it’s real. I don’t like to sugar coat. There’s not too many artists that can tell stories and be vulnerable on the mic.
Its hard, its almost natural, not to hate, but to think, ‘I’m better than you, so I can’t work with you’ that’s the status quo of how females act. I don’t want it to be like that; that’s why I like working with other females.
Right now, black female artists are the most interesting people to think about. People are ready to hear whatever we’re gonna say, and I’m not scared to say anything.
I have some talent. So, I’m going to show it off. No matter what, I’m gonna keep going.
To stand out, I just use my talents. I rap, and I sing as well. With that being said, people kind of know me for bringing that emotion in music.
Women all have our hard days, and we have our soft days. And there’s a lot of music that doesn’t make us feel as beautiful and good as we are.
I drop free music because I want people to know I’m still working. I want people to know I’m working and making my money independently. I don’t want to charge for a mixtape; I’d rather charge for an album and really give something to my fans.
A lot of times, I have personal things, things I go through that I may exaggerate or make a story around, but it always has a meaning related to something I’ve been through for real.
I think monogamy exists when you’re of age. I’m not saying that’s good, but in today’s time, a female won’t honestly get a full commitment until they’re at least 25 or 26. That’s not good, but that’s how it is.
When Nicki was putting out mixtapes, she was the only female rapper that had any kind of buzz. And not to mention that she was on the track with the guys, you know? So you had the girls playing it, and you had the hood guys playing it, too, so you couldn’t run away from Nicki.
I’m in my own little lane, doing just me. I don’t have to fit in.
There’s not really too many artists that young girls and young people can look up to and be inspired by. So I take it as my responsibility, sometimes, to be the person who has the voice to give people some truth about what we’re doing.
I go hard for the ladies so we have some music to relate to.
I can write a love song or a ballad, or when I read something and it pisses me off, I know how to go in.
