Are you plugged in with current rap music?
I try to stay up on everything that�s out. I love [Lil] Wayne, Drake, Big Sean, Schoolboy Q. I love Kendrick [Lamar]. I just try to pay attention to what�s out. Wayne puts out a new song, and my ears perk up. There are certain artists that make me do that just because of the caliber that they rhyme at � it�s like candy to me. Kendrick, the way he puts albums together � front to back, they�re like pieces of art. But hip-hop needs Drake, too. Hip-hop needs Big Sean. I feel like hip-hop is in a good place right now. There�s this balance of things going on, and it feels like some of the best rappers are the most successful. Sometimes that�s not the case.
