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 don't think about other people. If I did, I'd wanna compete. But I don't think like that, because I'm above everybody.
My style is to take something unexpected and make it into a hit. That's what I do.
I wanna be selective... very selective. Right now, hip-hop's very boring to me. It's no excitement.
I'm the type of person who tries to save the world.
I'm trying to do something real different; I'm trying to bring the street to real pop. I'm trying to bring the street to pop. Not watering it down, no nothing.
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?
