So many people just have that innate thing that allows them to express themselves in a way the majority can follow. That's when you're affecting culture.

The best work comes from people who are motivated by crisis. When something stops their original idea, they respond by coming up with something even better.

Lyrically, I could be so much sharper. Melodically, I could be so much stickier. Musically, I could have so much more texture. So I'm constantly doing that, trying to find new ways to mix things up.

I'm a producer. I'm a musician. And my job is to come in and, you know, put - you know, I treat all of the artists that I work with, like, you know, the way da Vinci was looking at Mona Lisa, you know, there's an interesting backdrop.

At the end of the day, the Lord knows I have no malice in my heart. But I've got tattoos, and I still fornicate.

In and out of dimensions I walk through walls, just saying you can't put me in a box that's all.

As a kid, I always had a super vivid imagination, like "Man, I like those shoes, but they should've made them in purple" or like, "Man, I wonder how people make songs."
