For Me, The Beatles Are

I Played More Of An Advisory Role With Public Enemy. I Really Trusted Them To Make The Music That They Wanted To Make, And The Way The Bomb Squad Worked With The... They Created Their Whole Own World Of Music.

Everything I Do, Whether It's Producing Or Signing An Artist, Always Starts With The Songs. When I'm Listening, I'm Looking For A Balance That You Could See In Anything. Whether It's A Great Painting Or A Building Or A Sunset.

I'm Just Trying To Make My Favorite Music. That's How I Work; I Just Do Things Based On The Way They Feel To Me. I Want To Be Touched By The Music I'm Making. Luckily, Other People Have Shared That Response To My Work Over The Years.

There’s A Tremendous Power In Using The Least Amount Of Information To Get A Point Across.

Well I Listened To Mostly Rock Music, And I Felt Like Hip Hop Was Like An Extension Of Rock Music When It Was Done Well. So Energetically, Again I Felt Like It Was In Line With Punk Rock And Maybe Hard Rock, More Than It Was In Line With R&b, Which I Never Really Liked.
