I Used To Be A Serious Sneaker

And Music Is Kind Of A - It's Like A Finicky Industry To Be In Of Course. Like, Tastes Change. You're Hot One Minute; You're Not - You Know, I've Been Through It Quite A Few Times, Like, On Both Sides Of It.

Then, You Know, The Other More-traditional Role Of The Producer In, Like, The Kind Of Quincy Jones Sense Is Kind Of Part Arranger. So You're Coming Up With, Like, These - You Hear These Songs That Are Quite Bare-bones, And You Dream Up What's The Band Doing? What's The Rhythm Section Doing? What's The Guitars, Strings, Pianos - That Sort Of Thing. It's Almost Like A Little Toolbox.

I Didn't Really Get That Good At Cutting Because I Didn't Have Those Three Years Of Gestating And Nurturing My Skills In The Bedroom. I Was Kind Of, Like, Out And Playing In Clubs After Three Of Four Months, Because I Was Pushy With Promoters. But I Would Just Listen To The Radio - Stretch Armstrong And Red Alert - And Then I Would Go Hang Out With Mayhem, Who Did The Wnyu Hip-hop Show.

Stevie Wonder Doing 'we Can Work It Out' By The Beatles Is One Of My Favorite Records Of All Time.

I Remember That The Bass Was Turned Up Slightly More On The Mix From Last Week, And I Thought That Was Good - Or Whatever. Like, There Were Some Little Things In There That He Said That He Came To, Like, Really Enjoy My Opinion Or At Least, Like, My Little Comments On The Songs. So I Was Kind Of Destined To Probably Be A Studio Rat.
