People know, lyrically, I go in, and you should never take me lightly on any record.
I love tearing people's speakers up.
With some of the samples that I chose to use, tracking down the person that owns the publishing has become a task.
I worked on 'Cadillactica' with the mind to not sample as much and focus on creativity.
Sample clearances and roll-out plans is what separates mix-tapes & albums.
I think if I wanted to get to a point where I could actually grow in my music, I had to almost step away from sampling so much and start making the kind of music that people wanted to sample.
