Chanel West Coast quotes

• When I first started rapping, I was like, 'I'm gonna be, like, the female Eminem.'
• 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
• Music is what I do pretty much all the time. I'm always in the studio. I'm always rehearsing for shows. Always doing shows.
• You can have opinions, but it doesn't mean they're right.
• I don't think a lot of people know what a real artist I am. I don't think they know I write my own music.
• 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.
• I'd rather be busy, working non-stop, than being bored at home, you know?
• My real, full name is Chelsea Chanel Dudley. In my opinion, Chelsea Dudley does not sound like a rapper. So I was like, 'You know what? Imma drop both of those names and just go by Chanel.'
• 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.
• It's hard being a woman in this industry, period. A lot of the time, guys make you feel like you need to hook up with them - especially as an artist - producers and other artists trying to collaborate with them, they make you kinda feel sometimes you need to hook up with them or flirt with them just to make a song.
• I know what it's like to have guys make you feel like you need to flirt with them or be s*xy or hook up with them or something, and you don't have to do those things. You just have to be strong and stand your ground.
• Honestly, the biggest setback to my music career was people's perception that I was a reality TV star, not a rapper.
• I always say that I want to be like 2Pac. If I were to die tomorrow, I want to know that I have enough music to put out for my fans for years to come.

Chanel West Coast is an artist worth her salt. She has steadily climbed the ladder to get to where she is right now, and her hard work and consistency is admirable.
