It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.

When I'm performing, this is what everything builds up to, and everything has allowed me to be here.

As the times are changing, you don't hear as many sample issues with rap artists. Part of that has to do with production styles these days, but the nature of copyright is also changing as the internet becomes more of a giant.

It's rare when I feel like I can extract a lyrical message out of combining two things together.

I listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

The whole point of doing the pay what you want is to be reasonable with the fans.

I hear something I like, and sometimes, I think it's gonna work, and I will cut it up, try it out, try to work with other material. Sometimes, it falls flat, and other times, it works out, so in that way, I'm constantly listening to music because I enjoy it.
