You Ain't Got To Change

I Don't Really Get The Same Kinda Romance That I Would Get From, Like, Jazz. And Even To A Lesser Extent To Rock 'n Roll. Rock 'n Roll Has A Romance To It - How Can I Put It? A Very Vulgar Romance, But Still A Romance; Whereas Hip Hop Has More Facade.

I Was Literally Told For 'the Show Goes On' That I Shouldn't Rap Too Deep. I Shouldn't Be Too Lyrical. It Just Needs To Be Something Easy On The Eyes.

It Definitely Wasn't Like, 'hey, I'm Going To Steal That, And Nobody's Going To Know.' The Original 't.r.o.y.' Came Out In 1992, And It Was Like A 20th Anniversary Kind Of Thing. All Of Those Intentions Were There For It To Be Resurrecting A Classic For A New Generation. I Tried To Honor It.
