I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.

In 1996, I was in was in an acoustic kind of rock band, we were called Feeble. We were just playing locally.

It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music. It was always natural for me.

With rock music, it usually revolves around the band. You go in as a band and probably take about a year to record an album. But for a hip-hop song, you can create a track and an idea with verses and choruses in a day, and get three different people on it. It seems like you're able to do more with hip-hop.
