The beats change, I mean you got a lot of artists out there advancing new sound, new technology, new beats everything sounding very futuristic, so I feel it would have been boring for me to do another hip-hop record.

I had BEEN making futuristic records way before a lot of the groups that came out, but now everybody is running to make their albums sound new, but it sounds too made up.

So it's like the underground world no longer exists economically cause they're not giving money back to their supporting artists.

Everybody's slow right now, there's nothing happening musically, everybody's all on cable television and being manipulated by all the television right now, what's on cable telling people what to listen to and stuff.

As I get older, I 've shied away from a lot of convention. I've just been making my records.

I'm not against women. I'm not against men. I just write about me telling my side of how I would say something.

Certain songs I feel different people should be on different tracks, you know it's emotional. I put myself into characters for certain records.
