In an interview with XXL, Maybach Music Group rapper Gunplay shared his perspective on the industry and his place in it. The Miami native explained his "lane" in hip hop and what he feels he has to cling to now that he's on Def Jam.

"The industry is so made-up and smoke-and-mirrors," he said in reference to being on a major label. "You just have to be yourself and let them know that you're not perfect. Because a lot of people aren't perfect; nobody's perfect." "N***as fart and sh*t. [Laughs] I'm that voice--that's me right there," he added. "I'll let the perfect people do what they do. They're good at it. They're good at being perfect, they're good at having their life look spotless to the media. I don't have that luxury or luck."

Gunplay also shared what advice Rick Ross gave him when he was on house arrest. "'Man f**k all these n***as, man. F**k 'em. Get your sh*t, man. F**k everybody. Don't love none of these n***as--do you with a cold heart,'" he said. "That was his advice."
