Quotes from Chanel West Coast

Coachella is a melting pot of cultures, vibes, style, and, of course, music. I look forward to it every year.

I've been on shows that are very comedic and happy, and you really only get to see one side of my personality. They're not shows about my life or my music, or my struggle or anything like that. They're shows where you pretty much see me laughing and smiling all the time.

I've been on MTV for so many years. They're so stupid and, like, disrespectful and rude.

I would say Tupac influenced me the most to start rapping, but as far as a female icon that I've looked up to since I was six or seven is definitely Gwen Stefani.

My biggest influence is Tupac. He was a poet, and listening to Tupac is what inspired me to start rapping.

I grew up listening to a lot of rap music. My dad's a DJ from Brooklyn, and he's a very soulful guy, so he always spun a lot of hip-hop, and that's where I get a lot of my hip-hop influence.

From Snoop, I've learned quite a bit. I learned that sometimes I need to keep my mouth shut. It's a long story, but definitely to sometimes keep my mouth shut. I also learned to always ignore the haters.

You can have opinions, but it doesn't mean they're right.

These people that watch our MTV shows, they're not music fans. They're people that are lazy on their couch and want to watch funny videos or whatever.
