Quote

Something that distinguishes my solo work from normal rap production is that it has a lot of melody - it's not just cutting up a song and having someone rap over it.

The music is in no way politically based - I'm not trying to make a point about sampling. It may bring up issues but I'm not trying to push it on anyone.

I still like weird music but there's such an overabundance that it's hard for me to stay enthusiastic about it.
Girl Talk
Image
I'm trying to separate myself from other people by having songs that would be considered - technically - original things. I don't seek out mashups. I'm associated with the whole mashup movement, and it's too bad because I'm not a huge fan of them.

Sharing information, art, music, and everything on the internet now has become a part of everyone's lives.

I always like the people who keep moving forward, but kind of stay in their own lane.

I hear something I like, and sometimes, I think it's gonna work, and I will cut it up, try it out, try to work with other material. Sometimes, it falls flat, and other times, it works out, so in that way, I'm constantly listening to music because I enjoy it.

When someone is buying a sample-based album, they are investing in the concept of that album. If they really like the original source material, they can go buy it.

I can't edit live as meticulously as I can for an album.

I think collaborating with a DJ could be interesting musically and it's something that I'd like to get into down the road, but I think on the live show tip I'm sticking to my guns for right now.

The goal of the work is always for it to come across as original material, as transformative material.

I didn't change much in terms of my setup or how I was making my music. It's evolved to this point where I think people look at it as one big traveling party.

As the times are changing, you don't hear as many sample issues with rap artists. Part of that has to do with production styles these days, but the nature of copyright is also changing as the internet becomes more of a giant.

That's kind of a nostalgia thing. Nirvana was my first favorite band, in third or fourth grade. Then I got out of them. But one day in college a few buddies and myself all started listening to them again and it blew me away. They still stand out as my favorite band ever.

I make a living off of playing shows the albums only make me a fraction of what I make off of shows, especially since I'm doing around 100 shows a year.

The whole point of doing the pay what you want is to be reasonable with the fans.

I wasn't trying to make a following. I was just trying to make interesting music. That's not being modest, that's just being realistic.

Sometimes the show needs that kick in the ass so being able to sing a Nirvana song kind of takes it there. I've grown up putting on extravagant shows with Girl Talk so when I'm playing I like to go nuts. After 30 minutes of pointing and clicking it's nice to scream into a microphone for three minutes.

I like to use recognizable songs, but other than that, this song would be perfect.
