I don't hate what I love. I love what I love and I hate what I hate.

If I wanted to contribute to the hyphy movement, what good is it making a hyphy record that isn't embraced by that community?

I would rather have 10 people working on a record that are really committed and believe in it and love it, than 50 people who have no idea who I am or what I'm for.

I couldn't make a real drum'n'bass or dubstep record to save my life. But I can be influenced by them in small ways.

I'm not going to get on any anti-corporation soapbox to an extreme level.

I feel less and less like that every year, and I guess maybe even more so with every new record that I put out. I just think, as the years go by, it's harder and harder to really find a reason to be annoyed that you made something that people want to continuously talk about. Certainly there are contexts in which the record can be discussed which will get me on the defensive and make me want to put some kind of calibration or some kind of context on what the record means in relation to my career as a whole.

To be honest, I didn't really get into making music to be an album artist.
