Basically, There's A Good Friend Of Mine

I Didn't Really Get That Good At Cutting Because I Didn't Have Those Three Years Of Gestating And Nurturing My Skills In The Bedroom. I Was Kind Of, Like, Out And Playing In Clubs After Three Of Four Months, Because I Was Pushy With Promoters. But I Would Just Listen To The Radio - Stretch Armstrong And Red Alert - And Then I Would Go Hang Out With Mayhem, Who Did The Wnyu Hip-hop Show.

You Know, Like, There's Songs Like "valerie" And "bang Bang Bang" That I Was So Proud Of. And, You Know, The Level Of Success That They Had - If They Were Little Cult Hits Meant That, You Know, I Could Sellout Webster Hall Or Williamsburg Musical Hall Or The El Rey Theater In La. Like, That Was Having Made It To Me. So The Thought Of Having A Number One Song In My Own Career, Like, Never Even Registered.

I Think That That Spirit, Or At Least The Raucousness Of Maybe That, Is In There. And Then Yeah, Like, Along The Way, You Fine Tune It 'cause You're Thinking, Like, Ok, We Need To Now Turn This Into A Song.

I Never Studied Jazz Technically; I Just Know And Love The Music.

And Music Is Kind Of A - It's Like A Finicky Industry To Be In Of Course. Like, Tastes Change. You're Hot One Minute; You're Not - You Know, I've Been Through It Quite A Few Times, Like, On Both Sides Of It.
