I didn't ever want to make a rap album. I considered it too limiting. Now that's exactly what I've gone and done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I've grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn't necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles... there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.
I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.
You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.
I don't have to put out another rap record. I can do it at my casual pace.
I don't think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don't have no limits to it, and I like it like that.
When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.
I'm not really into rap.
The average rap life is two or three albums. You're lucky to get to your second album in rap!
I haven't done rap... I can't do that too well.
That's the reason why I'm making albums. That's the reason why I love hip-hop: It's a challenge every time.
