I think it's being innovative and very creative to stay away from flat-out sampling somebody else's record. To me, that doesn't show too much of your creative side unless you take a little piece and add it, almost like spice on a chicken.
From Missy Elliott
I mean, when it's time to rhyme rhyme, I can get down for mine.
No, because I don't want to hear what's hot and feel I have to copy it. I'll just make up my own thing.
I'm not a person that's walkin' down the street looking mean all day.
I've always had a lot of creative impact on the music with Timbaland.
It's just that back then we didn't know that was considered being a coproducer. I would sit on the side and say what I wanted musically, but at the time we thought if you aren't the one playing it, you don't get the credit. Now you'll start seeing my name listed as producer.
Hip-hop is definitely not what it used to be, which was creative, original music.
Now everybody's sampling.
Everybody is doing the same old thing.
When it comes to size, most people don't want to see themselves looking bigger than what they are.
