Music is all about wanting to be better at it.
Playing music is a lifetime's work. And if you want to carry on with it, you have to try to better yourself. You have to see where the music can take you.
It's not like I'm not writing great music anymore, it's just that I want to take it another level.
The songwriting has never really stepped forward from the '50's.
Nothing I'm doing musically is revolutionary in any way, shape, or form.
I'm trying to stay a song ahead, two songs ahead of everybody else.
Rap evolves and to still be current you have to evolve with it! Get in front or get left behind.
If you stick with one sound and one way of working, how will you ever progress?
Music really evolves as it goes along. It's an evolution.
I can see that if this was an album done 10 or 15 years ago we could see we were moving on to some place else.
I am optimistic about the future of music.
Music is constantly developing and changing.
You never stop trying to make progress as a musician.
I do not think that music keeps evolving. It evolved through Bach; since then, in my humble opinion, all the innovations added nothing.
Music moves forward so quickly; music is an accumulation of knowledge, and musicians keep getting better and better.
I listened to Pablo Casals, which was a big change for me. Without hearing Casals, I would never have advanced as I did.
Music should be pushed forward.
Music needs to move forward.
