Meek Mill‘s come a long way in his career and people have started to notice. Meek stopped by GQ Magazine’s headquarters to talk to them about his response to Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” verse, the #MeekMillRapLike social media phenomenon and his ideas on style and business outside of music.

Check out quotes from the interview after the jump…

GQ: One last time in 2013, I wanna ask you about that “Control” verse. Kendrick had some choice words after your response dropped.
Meek Mill: I was just having fun when I did that. He’s another guy from the hood who came up. We’re from all the bad stuff that really happened. I was just having fun, talking shit. But that ain’t where I make my money.

GQ: Dreamchasers 3 has been out for a minute now. What’s next for Meek Mill?
Meek Mill: Up next is the album, touring, and a little movie on the way for “Tony Story” with Queen Latifah. That should come out some time in February.

GQ: You’re all over on social media. You know we gotta ask you about Twitter. Is that really what #MeekMillRapLike?
Meek Mill: (laughs) Oh, yeah. I just breeze through. It’s funny to me.

GQ: It’s kind of a compliment, in a way.
Meek Mill: Yeah I don’t see it as bad. I see jokes all day. It’s funny.

GQ: What are you working on outside of music?
Meek Mill: Starting a clothing line right now. Reversible flight jackets and stuff like that.

GQ: Is that something you’ve always wanted to get into?
Meek Mill: I don’t want to just be fully rapping my whole life. I got a two-year-old son that I never see. You make it so you don’t have to work as hard.

GQ: Are there any style rules you don’t break?
Meek Mill: No kilts. I don’t wear the see-through shirts or anything too glittery. I come from that ’90s school of rap. Fitted caps, because I got a big head so snapbacks don’t fit me right.

GQ: Gold seems to be a theme.
Meek Mill: It is! The gold Rolex, the 24K headphones, I even got a gold bike. I love the shine and I love the way it looks.
