I'm not a rapper.

I consider myself a composer.

I'm a musical genius.

My first love is producing.

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

I have ideas whirring around my head all the time.

It hurts when people put you down.

I've always tried different stuff in the studio. I use rakes, spoons, cans... I'm a surround-sound type of guy.

I know somebody in every culture.

I don't have beef with nobody.
