Everything right now tends to be the same and very aggressive, and I think people are getting a little burned out on it.

Frequently, when I'm compared to someone, I'm like, "Is that really what people think I sound like?"

People love drama, and if you aren't really interested in perpetuating that, it keeps you from exploding on a mainstream stage. I'm totally fine with that.

Yeah, I do. HipHop was, though I would not say all, cause I try to keep myself open to other things, but nearly all I listend to for the last 14 years of my life.

I'm trying to satirize what it's like to be a recording artist in 2011. I realize that standing on a soap box and ranting and raving about my opinions on the digital age and its effect on music is only going to get you so far.

Things go wrong when the people who control that world stop listening to their own instincts and start catering to their fan base.

Anything that sparks some eight-year-old's interest in music or DJing is great.
