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.
