I think rappers spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is new. 'How can I say this in a way that no one has ever said it before?'
Lyrically we tried to just not be the same as a lot of the other crap that is out there right now.
What makes Gucci Mane Gucci Mane is like what made Frank Sinatra Frank Sinatra - it's just him. He's trap's Frank Sinatra.
As a young artist, especially in rap and at that time that I came out, originality was big.
Too many people focus on writing what they think they should write, what should be in a song, what radio would want.
'Communication Breakdown' - it was punchy and direct, with a real attitude that was different to other bands going around.
The first few songs of the album 'Little Earthquakes' were unlike anything I'd ever heard.
I think Young Thug has such a weird style I love, especially the things he does with his voice. It just sounds different.
