As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a lyricist, I'm really trying to raise my level of quality.
One thing a lyricist must learn is not to fall in love with his own lines. Once you learn that, you can walk away from the lyric and look at it with a reasonable degree of objectivity.
I love great lyrics, and I love the way it could shape a tune into a very unpredictable one, and I also like taking a great melody and putting lyrics into it.
But I always loved songs with great lyrics.
A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist.
I speak from the heart. Certain people follow lyricists and people that put words on a dictionary together, and this and that. I'm more of a rapper that speaks how I feel. I just tell it how it is.
I actually find a lot of pleasure in writing lyrics.
I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.
I love a good lyricist - always have. The thing that inspired me most was the different performers, like Tina Turner, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, even Janet Jackson.
I've never considered myself a lyricist, but I have stuff to say.
