I'm not trying to make beats that are better than somebody else's. I'm trying to make beats that are genuine to me.

I never made beats to make beats; I only made them when there was a record to make them for. That's one of the things that has changed in hip-hop that's made me like it less. It feels much more like it's a producer-driven medium, where there are all these tracks that are completely interchangeable.

I don't do this for the money, I don't do it for record sales, I don't really care about that, I just want to make beats.

I definitely feel excited to be able to put really hard beats - like hip-hop beats - behind my music, more than I did before.

I'm not so much into the beats. I'm more into the spiritual side of the music.

Everything in my life has been about sound and making music, so Beats represents just that - the improvement of sound and the dedication to everything I've been doing from the day I started.

When I sit behind that electronic drum, it dominates me; there is no innovation in composing music like that.

There's more good music being made now than ever before.

I love good beats and good lyrics. I'm pretty open.

The truth is I want to make music that people enjoy.
