It was it was like always a very very fine line a fine line of when to break the high in a way because there's a lot of You know like Dance music like four on the floor. It seems like it's trying to just be strictly the high and never break it never give any type of extra information to strictly be the smoothest drug possible and With backpack wrap it was always like this responsibility that we felt to you know our our parents our ancestors into our generation at that time to use our platform of the drum to Educate with it and we we took it as a Responsibility more than the responsibility of like personal wealth And I think that was the beginning first notes of any Steve Jobs comparison before I even knew to be to have their audacity to compare myself to Steve Jobs there was a That that idea of the bends in the backpack the mix of the information the responsibility to my parents who are educators and The understanding that it had to be a bit dumbed down. It had to be Accessible in a way the fact that that is there You know in my respect for that and the fact that I came from that underground place is That is the balance that is the anchor for college dropout to work but it has to be anchored in an entire community of people that You know believed in a certain type of anti radio music and you know, I guess radio had the connotation because So many people are like it's so formulate when people figure out a formula that works for radio Walt Disney I don't know about myself But due to his success and what he did with films when they decided to start selling t-shirts They went and got I Don't know the exact story, but let's just say this is with the story Then when I got licensed and deal say let's put some Let's put our logo on some t-shirts and it was simple as that and now you have like Mickey Mouse t-shirts, right? My take let me go to Paris and get my ass kicked for 15 years and learn how to make clothes for real And then let me sell a t-shirt with that level of knowledge You know, I don't want to sell anything that I'm not extremely knowledgeable about If I go into beauty, it's gonna take some years, you know before You know, it goes it can't happen in six months It's gonna be at least a year and a half two years before the first product comes out Because I have to have so many knows I have to learn about it, you know, and this would be me working next to experts It takes I don't I just don't rush product based off my name. It has to the product has to be You know Something that I can stand behind a product has to be a contribution to society 95 Which is the year which I actually drew it and somebody should have killed me for how bad this actually was but this is almost like a premonition of a sort of because You know, you were like this at the end of your car accident You were in the bed like this and you thought was your death bed, right? So I would never draw myself dead ever again. You ever find time to do this anymore Selling Lee now drawing. I just use that as a language. Like I wanted to look like this I love to draw but I just love music more see my thing thing about the drawings is I couldn't turn them up loud at all I wanted to do something where people have it on all the time And basically now what my music is is a soundtrack to millions of people's lives You couldn't get that feeling from our school. I couldn't get it, you know and how to you know Take the elements of greatness and only the elements that can be understood in that year That is coming out and forever more though, you know, so a moment like dark fantasy or like You know like on all lights like you've kind of equated yourself to all these different people You know DaVinci Walt Disney Steve Jobs Michelangelo and he's asked how would you define a genius in that context? But also why do you feel the need to call yourself that? Because otherwise I'm called celebrity I'm called nigger I'm called rapper And when they use the word celebrity nigger a rapper, it's not in a positive way And all these things all those words can be used in an extremely positive way. What's up my nigger, you know But that's not the way it's used So I have to define who I am You know, all of my aspirations are things that currently only 60 year old white people do So I have to Redefine and let people know Exactly who I am and and it's not letting them know by you know wearing a suit Or letting them know by wearing a Rolex or letting them know by You know bragging about how much money A sponsorship made on top of a rap is letting them know by saying let's start with this. I'm a creative genius Everybody real quick gonna get back into the last tip in a second Just want to thank Annabel Gonzalez for recommending. I do this video.
