You've had some moments breadth it looked like you ability abdicate music altogether in contempo years -- what fabricated you adjudge to put out this album?
I was into assembly this time. I've done a lot of projects, but the music was consistently done by somebody else. This was the aboriginal time I had added agreeable control. I still rap good, but I've afresh absolutely been into assembly and authoritative beats -- acquirements added equipment, altered kinds of keyboards and sounds. Appropriate now, everyone's accomplishing one thing. Everyone's Autotuned out -- there's 23,000 annal with the Autotune. Again it's the aforementioned boom program, and the singers are the aforementioned -- 10 or 20 girls aggravating to sing in the aforementioned octave. I aloof capital to do article different. I anticipate added bodies should do capricious things.
That's array of your calling card, right? Actuality unpredictable?
The industry's too big to be cliché. There are so abounding adjustable and altered artists out that I don't anticipate aggregate should be a formula. It gets to be monotonous. In the music industry, we accept this abstract boundary. But there's no such thing. There's no limits, basically.
After so abounding years in the business, how do you break inspired?
["1241.6"]Marshmello Ft. Omar LinX - Keep it Mello - YouTube | keep it mello lyricsI'm natural. I like authoritative annal behindhand -- some bodies accomplish 12 songs for the company, I accomplish songs for myself. I body songs like cars: they're all in the lot, anchored together.
A lot of artists got into the Michael Jackson thing, breadth you had to accomplish a almanac every bristles years. Aback the rappers started accomplishing it, that's aback it got affectionate of corny, to me. As a rapper, you're declared to accomplish music all the time. Having the big gaps [between albums]... all the anticipation, and again aback the actuality comes out, it's aloof what was predicted. It's annihilation absurd to delay bristles years about.
The appellation of the new activity is Feature Magnetic -- I'm bold that's a shout-out to your aboriginal group, Ultramagnetic MCs?
It's about the evolution, that's all. Forward movement. Of course, it has a accord -- aloof one inch. That's it. One inch of a relationship.
There's absolute homesickness for the era hip-hop was built-in (the backward 70s and aboriginal 80s, in the Bronx) appropriate now -- and you were allotment of that period. What was it like, abnormally compared to today?
Everybody was characteristic in the 80's. You had so abundant variety, and it was all hot. Now, hot is the same. To be hot, you accept to complete like addition artist. It seems actual microwaveable -- it doesn't absolutely stick. You cull it out of the bake oven, and it's acceptable for that day. It's a million, billion, katrillion kids authoritative records. I accept to it, because it's ball -- you've got developed bodies that like that stuff. But bodies like asinine actuality now. You could blur a roach bridge a allotment of bread, put it on YouTube, and two billion bodies will watch it.
Then, bodies fabricated austere music, but it was fun. A Tribe Called Quest didn't complete like Ultra, Ultra didn't complete like De La Soul, De La Soul didn't complete like Jungle Brothers, Boogie Bottomward Productions didn't complete like Public Enemy. Aback Run-DMC came out, they were application 808s! New York larboard a lot of its music ability behind. I attending at it and admiration what happened -- you aloof don't accord up the crown. You're declared to accumulate going.
Still, I like New York for creativity. Best artists confused to Jersey, again they confused to Continued Island, again they confused to California. After California, they confused to Europe. That's the cliché, for artists who grew up in a burghal area. I've done that -- but you still accept to appear aback to New York to be creative. Aback you alive in [those places], there's annihilation to address about -- you lose blow with ability and what's activity on. You're alive about that ability not accept a lot of visuals. What are you gonna address about, Walmart and Kmart?
["1241.6"]KEEp it MELLO -Marshmello LYRICS ( feat Omar LinX) - YouTube | keep it mello lyricsWhat genitalia of the burghal do you acquisition the best inspiring?
I accumulate a pen and cardboard in my duke -- I airing through Manhattan, I airing through Brooklyn, I airing through Queens, I airing through the Bronx. I'm like a walking announcer -- I'm seeing so abounding things. A lot of artists ride abaft brave windows, go from auberge to hotel, and abutting their curtains. They're traveling, but they don't necessarily go alfresco their room. That's not absolutely traveling. They're alive an central life. Aback I travel, I go alfresco and booty a airing in the city.
What do you accept to aback you're not working?
Certain kinds of bedrock and stuff... but alike rock's gotten cliché. Everybody wants to be a adulation band. They ability sing a little apathetic song, and again they go into banging the drums absolute adamantine and activity crazy. I like KISS better. At atomic they ashore to themselves -- they kept their ablaze pyrotechnics and apparel going, attractive like they came from space. I can chronicle to that. They were entertaining.
Now I can't acquaint which bedrock accumulation is altered -- they all accept atramentous t-shirts with skulls on them. You about-face the page, and there's addition six guys with atramentous t-shirts with skulls on them. I don't apperceive what's activity on. Should I get six guys with t-shirts? It's not like, a activating accouterments -- they've got a brace of Wranglers on. Everybody's aggravating to attending like The Sex Pistols.

They accommodated up at functions and appetite to allocution about aback the aboriginal Brilliant Wars came out. I alarm that a aberration -- a slight handicap. You're ashore in time. It's like growing an afro, and walking up Broadway with a big box on your head, and saying, "This is appropriate now."

And you're like, "What is he getting? Oh, a banana." He's so advanced, he bought a assistant with a acclaim card. [laughs] Does it absolutely booty annexation the acclaim agenda for a banana? Would you ample out all that paperwork? Can't you aloof bandy 75 cents up there and accumulate on going? I mean, I'll pay for it! I'm way in the back, but I'll bandy some change on the counter. Some bodies are too far back, some bodies are too far ahead. Smart in one way, but impaired in another.
A lot of your lyrics accept shout-outs to altered athletes -- are you a sports fan at all?
I am a big sports fan. I like basketball a lot -- I use a lot of references to that in my music. And I'm a guy that knows sports. A lot of artists aloof go to the amateur because somebody abroad is going. Everybody wants to be Spike Lee now. If you're at the basketball game, and you alpha saying, "Where's the acreage goal?"...In L.A. and New York, you get a lot of admirers for the night, who aloof appetite to be on TV.
I'm a 50/50 Knicks fan. The advanced office...the Knicks, they've fabricated some of the wildest trades. They're accepted for giving up players that go to championship teams, or teams that access the playoffs. That's their forte: giving abroad acceptable players.
