No matter what anyone says, no matter how they try to compromise you, compromise your vision. If it's in your gut, if it's in your soul, there's nothing, there's no worldly possessions that should come between you and your expression. As a race, human beings, we're a blip in existence. Death is promised. So what do you do with your life? How do you make the most of it? How do you make your voice the loudest? I empathize with anyone in this era who's ever loved fashion

because usually it's not like loving the idea of being a lawyer, becoming a doctor. You know, it's like when kids tell their parents that they want to be a fashion designer, it's usually not met with the same response as the traditional held career choices. Even for me as a successful musician, in order to make the transition, it was really all but impossible. People always try to box you in to what they know you best for. Artists, or the most successful artists,

are as close to who they were when they were five years old or four years old or three years old or when my daughter wakes up and decides to change her career seven times a day. And all I could say to her is, use your youth, use this time you have right now to learn as much as possible, to McCartney, J.W. Anderson, all of these rock stars that if you follow Paris fashion and all that, you know, we look up to these people. And she was a really hard instructor. It was like the movie Whiplash almost. You know, she got sued like three times because she was so tough on what was actually right, what was valid.

And I feel that, you know, she passed last year. responsibility to enforce whenever I had the opportunity and speak up on what was actually right in my eyes and by default I've got a lot of haters since then but it was simply that artist's three-year-old truth that I wanted to get across. The reason why I would go to fashion shows so much, you know, over the past 10 years is I wanted to see the designers deliver their work in their truest form. Exactly how they felt, you know, around all of the issues that go into making a collection, which I know firsthand and fully appreciate. So many celebrities, the average celebrity designer, you know, their fingers don't get bloody. They don't pick up needles.

They don't know how to sew. They don't know how to pattern cut. And I can pin a little bit. Welcome to Daily Motivation, where you get motivated and inspired. But I don't know how to pattern cut. And I respect people who have a craft, who have taken their time to really learn and hone their craft and deliver something of quality, of passion to the world. The fight that Louise Wilson pushed and instilled into her students. The fight that when you talk about students putting 80 hours in and trying to sleep at the school and

being dedicated to the project. I build things that mean things to people. I make the Christmas presents. To this date, they do not understand who I am. They will not understand until after I'm gone. Because in a hundred years from now, everyone in this room will be dead. And what did you do while you were here? What difference does anything make that I'm saying here other than if there's people who can help with what I'm saying and people who believe in me come help now call now but I think the idea of dumbing down each one of the things that you guys are going to say I look at there's a positive and there's a negative that you think of as an artist but there's a positive too because it's the ability to accomplish more than the ability to step back from that immediate battle to win an overall war and to understand how long the war really is

and understanding exactly how much to push on your concept and how much information to put in there how much to concede, when to fight. You know, I remember on Gold Digger, I had this line that said, when he get on, he do your ass for a white girl. And there was a radio guy who wouldn't play it because he was in an interracial relationship. He had a white wife. He was a black disc jock. So it directly connected to something that he dealt with issues with his entire, you

know, marriage and relationship. So he didn't want to something that he dealt with issues with his entire you know marriage and relationship so he didn't want to play that I remember there's video footage of me getting really upset and fighting for that to be played and you get like one of those Kanye West outbursts but I was fighting at that time for the idea of the art not being compromised like I didn't curse so what's so wrong with this concept it seemed like whether I was using imagery of the art not being compromised like I didn't curse so what's so wrong with this concept it seemed like whether I was using imagery of the clan on MTV and I would say okay wait a second so we can play this many g-strings right but if you play an image of the clan that's and what it came down to is all this is bad for business this is bad for advertising or it's

making people think too much or it's uh bringing a truth to people's attention that we don't want to. We don't feel like right now. And I think there's something about, you know, there's different kind of drugs. If anyone's been on vacation and taken drugs before. But there's drugs that make you tell the truth. There's drugs that make you happy. There's drugs that make you sad. There's different types of moods that can put you in. And music is like a drug. You know, people go on vacation and say, did you bring the, I won't say the, I won't say the D word, but did you bring the drugs? And they say also, did you bring the music? These things go together. Did you bring the alcohol? You know, it was so, the interesting balance of making enjoyable music that also had truthful

information in it it was like always a very very fine line a fine line of when to break the high in a way because there's a lot of you, like dance music, like four on the floor. It seems like it's trying to just be strictly the high and never break it. Never give any type of extra information, just strictly be the smoothest drug possible. And with backpack rap, it was always like this responsibility that we felt to, you know, our parents, our ancestors, and to our generation at that time to use our platform of the drum to educate with it. And we took it as a responsibility more than the responsibility of, like, personal wealth. And I think that was the beginning, first notes of any Steve Jobs comparison. Before I even knew to have the audacity to compare myself to Steve Jobs.

There was that idea of the bins in the backpack. The mix of the information, the responsibility to my parents who are educators. And the understanding that it had to be a bit dumbed down. It had to be accessible in a way. I think every time we would go to the studio, we would recap our entire history up to that point. Current events and, you know, the past 500 years or past 2,100 years. I say that because I'm on the Christian clock

because I'm a Christian. And when I work, I work really slow. I let the steak marinate. So the idea of jumping to current event, to event, to event, they usually come out in the music over a four to six month period from after they come. Because everyone wants to speak so quick and so emotionally and react right away.

And it's just the way I create my music, the way I create my content. It just takes me a little bit longer, a lot more conversations. And I don't like to complain without trying to find or offer a solution, which takes even longer. So that's the process. And that's how events like that affect the things I eventually say. My next question.
