Rastafarianism And Reggae Music Have Always Kind

When I Run Into A Person Or A Kid That Comes Up And Gives Me The Spiel About, 'hey, I Got Your Record At This Time In My Life, And It Really Helped Me,' That Stuff Totally Still Rings True. If You're Standing There Talking To Someone, It's Really Easy To Tell If They're Being Authentic Or Not. And That's Great.

On Every Bright Eyes Record, There's Some Kind Of Sound Collage That Begins It. Some Of Them Have Dialogue, Some Don't. I Like It Because It Can Kind Of Slow Down The Attention Span A Bit. It's A Way To Draw You In To The Rest Of The Record.

I Think That Hip-hop Is More Of An Individual Effort. That Means You're An Artist From The Streets, They Expect You To Rap About The Streets, Because That's What Happens There.

In A Way, To Have Whatever People Talk About As "crossover Success," I Think It Means You Start Making Bad Music. I Mean, When I'm Flipping Through The Channels And See The Vmas Or Something, I Don't Really See Any Music There.

I Want To Be Enriched By The Music I Listen To. That's The Reason It Never Really Exists In The Mainstream. Because That's Not What Most People Are After.
