I’m talking about the club, like come to the club. If you in the club with me, come play amongst the stars. Come play amongst the ballers, the real ballers.

I feel like my personal calling in hip-hop is to push forward the next generation of great lyricists, great producers, just great artists in general. When I look at all of my favorites, and I look at all of my greats, I feel like that’s probably the one thing they didn’t do. I’m talking about from the golden era, from the golden era of hip-hop. I feel like that shortened their life span. I might have got five records that I cared about from my favorites, probably three.

Mind you, these are the best of the best. These guys are still to this day, to me, the best of the best. But I feel like what stunted their growth, and why it was so short-lived is because they didn’t push forward the next generation. They sort of got stuck into their greatness, which probably is pretty easy to do when this was probably the greatest era of rap. You know what I’m saying?

They sit around and they tweet all day. Big, grown, weird men. Old, weird, weird, funny, weird men. Old and weird, tweeting about where’s my album? “Where’s this?” I mean, tweeting, commenting, it’s so weird. It’s like, man, my album is titled Daytona. I changed it from King Push because King Push was just a moniker that I came up with, and I felt like that’s what it should be. But no, Daytona really speaks to the luxury of time and being able to have the luxury of time.

Not every artist can take two years, three years, or you can sit back, and you do a whole album, and you’re happy with it. You love it. Then Kanye West says, “Hey, I want to produce it all.” And then, you have the luxury to be like, “You know what? Let’s go do that. Let’s knock it out.” And then we do it and we take our time, and we really craft something that we’re so impressed by when we’re done with it.

It’s about breaking rules. This is rule-breaking rap. It’s like, everybody doing 20 songs. No, we’re giving you seven. We don’t want to give you 20 songs. We don’t like that ‘cause it’s 20 of trash.

Daytona’s my favorite watch. Rolex Daytona. I could have said my album’s called The Luxury of Time, but that would have been too direct, sort of corny.

A lot of times when people hear ad libs, they don’t realize that that’s not written down. That’s just a feeling, and you go with whatever that feeling is. You’ll put on the headphones. I won’t even be looking at the mic. My eyes might be closed. I’m about to get into my verse. I’m asking for a lead-in, a little bit of a runway before I start my verse, and whatever comes out is what comes out. That’s just what it made me feel.

I actually wasn’t at that party, and that’s what I’m saying. I’m like, “Man, where were you when Big Meech brought the tigers in?” Because if you was outside, you heard about that party forever. Like, “What do you mean?” This is like rappers, R&B singers, everybody’s tried to recreate this one Meech party. I was hearing about it, and that was like my motivation for like, “Man, let’s get to it.”

I would ask a genie if they could grant me the wish of being able to see the future. Also, being able to pick up on somebody’s character immediately, like if they have a harmful aura.

Golden State, man. Super-incredible team, so many talents on the team. It’s like clockwork. They play in sync, in unison. It’s clockwork. It’s like really on all cylinders. Like it’s like a motor; it’s just running perfectly. I just liken that basketball squad to what most guys hope their squad is like, being a team, being a family, really everybody knowing they role, knowing they position, and executing to the best of their ability at that position so the whole team can look good.

It’s like a play on words. It’s like we’re talking about wet weight, then you’re talking about weighing the odds of like, “Hey, wait a minute, do I go to war with you, or do I chill out?” It’s just like playing on weigh and weight in a couple different ways. Rap shit. Super rap shit.

“The trap door’s supposed to be awkward.” That means nine times out of 10, it’s usually off hinge a little bit. It’s a little bit, the dashboard, the center console’s a little off, or crooked, or whatever, and that’s how you could recognize it. Ultimately they’ve gotten way better, but it was definitely a little off-kilter. If you caught a rookie cop or something, he may look past it. But most got hip very soon that the awkward hinging of any of those center consoles, dashboards, door panels was probably a key.

It was a staple to have outside. A tennis ball that was hollowed—you could open it, put whatever you needed inside of it, and walk camouflaged with a tennis ball.
