"This is a collection of [the] kinds of things that's happening in my head, and I'm not going to show any remorse for putting all these genres together and just really hurting the world. I'm not trying to make an urban mixtape. I'm not trying to make a pop mixtape. I'm making a T-Pain mixtape."

T-Pain also explained the mixtape title reflects his need to vent, saying: "The mixtape is called Stoic that means a person that's able to take great amounts of pain without showing emotion.

T-Pain also explained the mixtapes lead single "Don't You Quit", saying: "You know me, I'm just all into motivation. That comes in all kinds of forms.
