It's Really About Taking Something Inherently Negative, And Starting With The Word Loser, Starting With Something That's Negative, And Changing It Into Something That's Positive, Redefining It, But Doing It In A Certain Way, How - Like I Would Say When I Look Out At The World And You See It's Dark And It's Just Overbearing And Every Day Is Depressed, Depressed, Depressed. What It Took Was To Change My Perspective A Little Bit. Not To Change The World, To Change My Perspective.

It Definitely Wasn't Like, 'hey, I'm Going To Steal That, And Nobody's Going To Know.' The Original 't.r.o.y.' Came Out In 1992, And It Was Like A 20th Anniversary Kind Of Thing. All Of Those Intentions Were There For It To Be Resurrecting A Classic For A New Generation. I Tried To Honor It.

The Stuff That I Make And The Things That I Talk About, You Have To Listen, So If The Beat Is Doing Too Much, It's Going To Take You Away. If The Hook Is Too Distracting, It's Going To Take You Away. The Hook Just Needs To Be Enough To Get You From One Verse To The Next.

I Was Literally Told For 'the Show Goes On' That I Shouldn't Rap Too Deep. I Shouldn't Be Too Lyrical. It Just Needs To Be Something Easy On The Eyes. Like A Record Company Telling Picasso That We Don't Need These Abstract Interpretations Of Life, Where People Have To Sit Down And Look At It And Break It Down.
