Shady's great; I love Shady Records.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like playing weird, kind of shady people.
When I was first going out to funky events, it was a lovely kind of music to dance to - it had such a nice vibe.
I love grooves and dance music, but I like the feeling behind songs too.
I just have so much love for my record label.
You can't trust an artist that just makes good records.
I love rap.
So I went out and bought Hard Again by Muddy Waters. That was a big learning curve. I listened to that album again and again and again. James Cotton was the harmonica player on that album.
I love my songs, let's not get crazy here.
I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.
Between Prince and my dad's fusion-jazz records, I didn't have a choice in being funky.
