'It's a Blessing'
, it was such a personal album and I felt like I kind of said everything that I kind of wanted to say, you know what I'm saying? So I was at this weird little crossroads lyrically where I was coming to the studio everyday and I was writing raps. The raps were cool, but I realized that after 20 years in, you can always write cool raps. If you don't have a direction or have a message you want to convey, you're not going to get that fulfillment out of it.
Despite the friendship between you and Em, you guys are pretty critical of each other's work when it comes down to it. Because Em's a producer, what kind of conversations did you two have going into the album? For "Darkness," talk about the direction you were heading in when making the beat versus the ultimate outcome of the record, which speaks to gun-control.
I just love how I don't care about things. With every producer that I know is a master, they'll tell you what they're not going to do before they'll tell you what you're going to do. Once they become extremely good at it, then they start setting boundaries for themselves. Right now, I'm at a space where I don't have any right now, I just do whatever. I'll disrespect the shit out of a beat.I learned a lot.
