Lyricists Quotes - Page 2

• People always have these debates about who their favourite rapper is. And I think it's based upon what mood that particular person is in. If someone's favourite rapper is a lyricist then they're focused on rhymes or substance. If someone's favourite rapper is a party rapper, you know, someone who makes music about the clubs... "Oh, he's my favourite rapper". No, his subject matter is your favourite.

• If my songs are being listened to between any other songs, that is awesome, and I'm glad people are getting something out of them. We go to countries like Germany, where I can't imagine that all of my fans are engaging with the lyrics first and foremost. I think they're catching a vibe, a feeling. I consider myself a lyricist first and foremost, but if you get something else out of what I do, that's fine too. I'm not sitting back and telling people how they have to take my stuff. We just want to play music, and hope that people like it.

• DrakeMe gustaría colaborar con él. Es un letrista fenomenal. Probablemente el mejor rapero del mundo en este momento. Me encanta Kanye, pero hay algo en Drake; es más directo, muy inteligente y muy poético y metafórico, eso me encanta. Es muy inteligente.

• Alguien debería tener un disco en el que no se cante. Es mi disco favorito de Miles Davis. Me encanta salir en verano, en New York, cuando hace un calor miserable. Me encanta Miles Davis eléctrico en verano. Jack Johnson, sobre todo la composición, es un ejemplo de ello. Siempre me hace sentir calor en la ciudad. También es agradable tener algo que no te grite al oído. Para mí, como letrista, es agradable poner algo sin palabras.

• My identity is mostly as a songwriter and lyricist and singer. I also have a lot of production ideas but I have my own limitations in terms of what instruments I'm actually proficient at and what I can do myself, so I really love working with people on the production end; just really going for it with orchestration and instrumentation and production. That's where I see myself going: maintaining my integrity and abilities as a songwriter, but applying it to different contexts, to where I can put on a huge feathered costume and roll around in the ocean.
