You never meet someone who says “oh, that Kanye album? It was aaaaight” No It’s either “that shit was TRAAAASH!” Or “That album is fuckin incredible. A classic” That’s what great art is. It doesn’t live down the middle like everyone else does. It lives on the edges only.

Producers who "just added drums and 808" aren't lazy.. Sample composer producers who want to collab aren't lazy.. They both equally responsible for the sum total of the song.. Drop the EGO and ARROGANCE and get over yourself on who's more important. We're ALL IMPORTANT.

When I made the #LoveYourz beat, I knew it had to tell a story. I didn’t know what or for who. For @JColeNC to turn it into what he did still blows my mind 5 years later. I’m always in awe every time he performs it. Can’t express enough how thankful I am for this song.

Some people are not gonna like you, your music, your Art, whatever it is u represent.. it doesn’t mean you’re not dope.. they just don’t resonate with u.. focus on the ones who DO.. they’re out there and it’s your job to find them and nurture them 🤘🏽

When u stop chasing everything (placements, people, money, plaques, charts) and just focus on what’s in front of you, those things start to actually happen ❤️

The thing about Drake is he creates moments you remember by not trolling and just making great music with insane execution that you’ll remember forever... that’s why the man is still the king.
