I would do a documentary about Jay-Z. Yes, I would.
I think Baltimore is a wonderful artistic community with a lot of great musicians. It's kind of like a little secret for musicians.
Leona Lewis made some really nice albums.
It really does help everyone when there are some big bands leading the charge.
I'm a huge fan of R. Kelly's. He's a musical genius and probably the most prolific artist of the generation before mine.
My daughter is 15. None of her friends know who the hell Chris Rea is, but they know that song - as soon as it comes on, they start singing it. I've played with everyone from Status Quo to Talk Talk, but nothing impresses them as much as the fact that I play on 'Driving Home for Christmas.'
I'm of the generation that discovered Aerosmith because of Run-DMC. They just looked crazy to me. They were the dudes in the Run-DMC video. That's who Aerosmith was.
My favorite artists are Kanye West, Jay Z, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child.
I don't have a long history of hit singles of my own. I had a few, and I had a little hot streak in the '70s, but I've had a lot of success producing other people.
I'm not really rocking with mixtapes no more. EPs and albums - that's it.
A lot of people bit into Timbaland's sounds.
I'm obsessed with Marcus Mumford. I've got to know him recently; he's amazing.
I'm a massive fan of Troye Sivan, Ariana Grande, and Justin Timberlake.
As far as One Direction goes, and Mindless Behavior and all the other bands, I'm all for it, and if there's ever an opportunity to work with them, that'd be great.
I'm a big fan of Kid Cudi. He was, like, the only concert I think I went to as a kid. He was on tour with Asher Roth.
I love Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Miguel.
I like Kanye and Kendrick Lamar.
I always say, 'Hey, I'm in Metallica, but I wasn't on the Black Album.'
Taylor's first four albums have been certified platinum a combined 21 times, but despite her unprecedented success in country music, '1989' is strictly pop.
I love Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. I think GaGa's pushing the envelope every day and I really like that.
I thought that the music industry was going to be pretty easy - getting features and stuff - and everyone was going to be nice. But I realized that it's really, really hard to get features.
Usher is definitely somebody I came up listening to.
I remember my first albums: Brandy's first album and Usher's 'My Way.'
Where's Eminem, when is Em coming out, Em this, Em that, 50 this, 50 that... What about Obie?
I love Rihanna's style. It's a good mix of streetwear and show wear, and I love her music, too. She's an incredible singer and performer.
