You can't trust an artist that just makes good records.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most artists think they're frauds anyway.
It would be ridiculous to say I don't want to sell records, but I trust my taste.
Most people think in order to validate yourself as an artist, you have to write your own songs. I commend the guys that do. I've done it. But I also think that you can pick great songs outside that you didn't write that can help your career.
I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.
I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.
I'm not an artist that has a big, huge radio record that's going to be on BET.
Most artists are notoriously insecure, and I fall into that category.
Bands that say they don't care about how their records sell are liars.
The biggest difference between me and other artists out there is that they'll put anything out to sell a record or sell a ticket.
You can tell an honest artist from one who's just given all their songs.
