D'angelo Could Sing The Phonebook And It

Basically, There's A Good Friend Of Mine Who Works At Emi Publishing, A Publishing Company. He Had Asked Me - He Was Like, You Know, Do You Know This Girl, Amy Winehouse? She's In New York For A Day. She's Kind Of Meeting People To Maybe Work With On Her Second Album.

Being A Die-hard Knicks Fan, I Remember Hunting Down These Orange-and-blue Nikes That They Only Released In England. And I Used To Hunt For Sneakers When I Dj'd In Japan. But Then Nike Flooded The Market With A Head-spinning Array Of Color Combinations And It Just Didn't Seem Cool Anymore.

You Know, It's Weird. It's - It Hasn't Really Changed My Life In Any Kind Of Way That I Can Measure. I Mean, It's Obviously Such An Insanely Amazing Thing. You Know, None Of My Other Records I've Ever Had Before Even Broke Into The Top 100.

D'angelo Could Sing The Phonebook And It Would Sound Good.

I Think, You Know, For Me, Whatever I Need To Slot Into To Make That Music The Best It Can Be Or Help The Artists, Or Whoever I'm Working With, Achieve Whatever Vision They Have In Their Head For A Song.
