My approach to writing rhymes went hand in hand with the music. I'd try to make different rhythms with my rhymes on the track by tripping up patterns, using multi-syllable words, different syncopations. I'd try to be like a different instrument.
The young kids out there doing their thing, I can't knock them.
As a young artist, especially in rap and at that time that I came out, originality was big.
I got a lot of vinyl, a lot of music in general in the house.
As I grew up, a lot of the music was made to uplift the spirit.
I'm a fan of hip-hop as well. I like everybody who keeps the game on their toes and keep it pushing.
