![Juvenile: My point is what really moves the need and what really puts the money in the pocket? Who really buys the record? Who actually is purchasing the product and buying the tickets to come to the concerts?
It's the women bro, the driving force for my music. And I realized that later in my career. I start realizing, like, "Wait, hold up, I'm rapping my ass off on these songs, but these niggas ain't going to buy my shit." I'm getting props, "Boy, you flew that shit right there." [Laughs] You ain't going to buy my shit though. Stacy and them went and bought my shit, Stacy shaking that ass to my shit, for real. So I cater to the women more than I do the fellas. I still hit him with bars, but I'm not focused on that. I'm focused on getting that shit going
