How’s this project work into that?
This whole Madlib shit is different. People wanna talk to me because I stepped outside the box. If I was doing the same thing all the guys in my generation was doing, then how’d I’d be standing out? I’m from Gary, Indiana, motherfuckas not trying to pay attention to me anyway. They wanna write me off. A lot of motherfuckas would have let it break them. But I never let it stop me at all. This Madlib project was special, with very challenging beats to rap on, and I wanted to bring my A-game and do it to the best of my ability.
This is random, but I saw you tweeting about the Oscars. Did you enjoy them this year?
I couldn’t listen to all that Bette Midler elevator music. Maybe when I get a little richer — need to get some more rich white friends, then I’mma get into that shit.
