Nick Cannon

I can acknowledge it in the moment, but then I'm off it.

I just, I don't rock with it like that.

You made a hit song with Future Amigos.

It's music because you're like, you know what, I wish I would have given music more of a chance.

But I was really into this TV space, I was really into this stand-up space, and I don't think I gave music the chance that I do now.

I didn't.

I didn't.

I mean, interestingly enough, I never wanted to be a music artist.

Right.

looked up to people like Kanye and even Pharrell specifically.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

I wanted to be a music producer.

I wanted to have artists.

My whole goal was being the guy behind the scenes.

It just so happened that TV opportunities and all that stuff kind of- Presented themselves, yeah.

Presented themselves, and I took it, and then I kind of got-

pegged as like, oh, it's the kid from Nickelodeon.

Or, oh, it's the kid from Drumline.

Oh, it's the next Wilson.

So I never really, as an artist, as a creative, I never really got a chance to dive into my musicianship.
