You have girls that sing about guys ain't paying their bills and men are this and men are that and I write about women who want to go out for free, they don't want to pay for the dinner, they try to get over, they wanna leave.

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

But still at that particular level of commercialism I listen to those projects I still hear some stagnation in a lot of the stuff.

People tend to lock into one thing that you do that they consider to be better than the last one.

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.

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.
