Kids Can Make Fun Of You For

So Sometimes If I'm Working With A Rapper, Like Ghostface Killah Or Nas, Producing Usually Means, In Hip-hop, That You Make The Music. You Make The Beat, And You Give It To Them. And They Write The Rhymes.

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.

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

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.
