People do not respect music anymore... They go by what's hot... If you're hot, you deserve 4 or 5 Grammys... Madonna is a genius and she only has 2 or 3 Grammys... What is that about?

Everyone wants to work with the big new producer or the hot new singer. The key is to find them before they're hot.

I never had any plans to become a producer when I was a kid. I wanted to be a DJ, like most other kids at the time. Then my mum bought me a Casio keyboard and I started to sample sounds that I liked.

You don't question where the music comes from, because it all comes from God.

Don't get in my personal life.

I don't have beef with nobody.

I wanna be selective... very selective. Right now, hip-hop's very boring to me. It's no excitement.
