Where are we going to go musically? At the end of the day we’re all going to have one album and everything is going to sound the same and people are going to turn away from hip hop.
Cause that’s what happened with rock music when the hair bands invaded and everyone sounding the same and looking crazy with their big hair and tight spandex. Hip hop came in with this defiance and saying something different and saying this is what we do. Hip hop took over music.
So we continue to do that type of music… which leaves a big gap for another type of music. I just was in Brooklyn the other day watching indie bands and watching the Grizzly Bear perform and they were just destroying things and I was like this is it. This is what’s gonna happen. Cause this is an unannounced show, 12,000 people, this is happening. The indie rock scene is in a great place, I enjoy watching that right now more than hip-hop. I know that’s one of things like Kanye saying he don’t play hip hop in his own house but it’s just true.
So death to autotune was more of a rally call. It was angry because it was like ‘ok, enough of that! Let’s go. Let’s go!’

This is why I love Jay-Z. We would be good friends.
