When there's something negative in my life, be it in the art or the music world or in my personal life, I really just want to face it as immediately as possible. I don't run from it. I just want to immerse myself in it, get through it as quickly as possible, understand it, and look into what is positive about it.

With rap music, there are billions and billions of samples that are uncleared that people have never been bothered about on an underground level.

I sampled a bit of stuff from my dad's collection. He has probably a bigger record collection than I do. I try to buy as much as possible, because I've never been able to keep an MP3 collection organized. I like to keep my computers as clean as possible.

My dad's been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors.

To get 300 songs to fit together on an album, it's not like I choose 300 songs and say these are the ones I wanted to pick. To get those 300 songs I sampled 1000's of songs and narrowed down the ones I felt worked the best musically.

Sharing information, art, music, and everything on the internet now has become a part of everyone's lives.

I want the material I make to be mine; that's always the goal of the record and of the show.
