Yeah, but that was just the music for it at the time.

I had a problem with my voice for many, many, many years because that was just it. I didn't feel like I had found my voice. I always thought that my tone sounded like Mickey Mouse. The next time you listen in front, picture Mickey Mouse. You can't unsee it. Stop. I swear. That's one. Now, that's just my tone. Then there is skill set.

Not being flat. I definitely didn't use any kind of tuning back then. So I was flat all over the place, sounding like a hot vermin, just sounding crazy. And my standard is super high. Remember I told you that's the reason why I didn't want to do a documentary. My standard is how I work with great singers. I worked with Beyonce before. I worked with Rihanna.

I worked with people who really can sing. I worked with Shakira. I work with Kim Burrell. I work with singers. I work with the Clark sisters. I know what singing really, really, really is. The craft of singing. It's a real thing.

I wanted to show that I was known for rapping and making beats at the time. And I was like, yo, I'm going to go do this thing too. It was more of a flex. And then I looked up and was like, oh, but then you got to go out there and go tour it. And I hated touring.

I love being all over the world. I hated staying in different hotels and not really having the right options that I felt like I wanted to. I was always that way. I was a very particular child. I like what I like, and when I can't have what it is that I like, I'm very routine, and I didn't realize that. I didn't realize a lot of things until later in life.

But my issues were that I was very hardwired for regiment and consistency. And I don't like new environments. But I love, man, touring with N.E.R.D. and going to like Sydney or, you know, or Amsterdam or like London, Brixton shows. But I hated, I didn't really enjoy like the hotel accommodations and I didn't really like being on the bus all the time. I was like not into that at all. So, you know.

It was just very particular as a kid. And I just didn't understand what I didn't understand. And I didn't have anyone to explain it to me because I came from Virginia, you know, it wasn't like a blossoming music industry there. It wasn't known for that.
