Most Things That Are Politically Right Are

I Look At People Like Picasso And Da Vinci And Escher And Miles Davis, And They'll Write Or Paint That One Definitive Masterpiece Of Maybe 50 That They Have That's Really Trying To Go Outside The Box, Trying To Do Something That's Tough. And Then When You Accomplish It, You Look Back And Go, 'yeeaaaah - Masterpiece.'

The Murder Rate In Chicago Is Skyrocketing, And You See Who's Doing It And Perpetrating It - They All Look Like Chief Keef. When It Comes To The Point That, You Know, That Kids Who Are Doing The Killings, And They're Kids 13 To 19 Years Old, And You Can Replicate That In New Orleans, You Can Replicate That In Oakland. All The Kids Look The Same.

You Can't Control It Once You Turn It Into The Label, So There's The Expectation That It'll Leak A Week Before The Album Comes Out. That's The World We Live In.

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.

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.
