Before, when I was the younger me, would have been probably... Felt some way about that.

Like, oh, these niggas going to tell me to hold all these beats and then don't use them.

It don't matter, though.

Make what you can, nigga, and keep it pushing, bro.

I mean, I feel like even new artists, they got...

damn they're more confidence than the OGs because they don't give a fuck they think everything they do is stadium arena level shit which is beautiful for me because I'm working with you know what I'm saying niggas who got records that's popping now and I'm like damn these niggas come in the studio like yeah nigga this shit

out of here on first rip right and i'm working with the ogs and they'd be like hold on let's think this shit out a little bit so it's a nice balance to see both sides and i just got man so much knowledge bro like to apply to both sides from this shit because i can take the energy of you know a young nigga that'll come in and do three songs in an hour versus a nigga who like finna write out all the lyrics and make sure every line perfect like i could balance that shit out

Man, a whole lot, bro.

A whole lot.

But be super intentional about everything that you're saying.

Make sure this shit is facts.

Make sure this shit is solid information.

And going back, listening to it.

I mean, I was young when Nas was, you know what I'm saying?

First coming out and shit.

Fucking didn't even imagine me making music.

But going back hearing this shit, I'm like, damn, he always been...

this critical thinker he always been like he written this on the past and he able to put it in context and guide you through that shit it's just crazy man so I don't know I just I learned plenty from him bro so you actually went back and started like listening to a lot of his old shit once you started creating with him yeah for sure

Like when we was doing the first King's Disease, I remember just one day just listening to all the intros from all his albums and just like making sure that like the energy, what he was saying, what I was doing on a production was going to make sense.

And I'm like, yeah, this shit lined up like this where he had in life.
