Amazing work. I wish I would have seen her show at the Luggage Gallery a couple of years ago. Hopefully, the dream would be if she could do an installation for Flavourhood. That would be something.
KS: My friend and I were talking earlier about how everyone has ghostwriters. Everybody has someone writing their stuff. And I’m not gonna name names because that would probably do my career in. But it’s like almost any artist that you know of that’s a rapper. People are just going for the money. It’s not as looked down upon in the singing world as it is in the hip-hop world. People have been doing that for years and years. In the ’60s, people didn’t write their own music. I mean, Jan and Dean? Are you kidding me? “You’re so cute, but you didn’t write your own music.”
I guess I just didn’t know that that’s the way it could work, and that’s why albums come out so fast; it’s not just one person, it’s a team of writers getting shit done and pumping this shit out. I wrote my whole album. I co-wrote one—sorry. But if you really wanna do it, that’s not how it works. So, lesson learned!
F151: Yeah, it’s really not conducive to pumping out singles.
KS: That’s why I think hip-hop sucks right now. Well, pop sucks, because hip-hop became pop. Remember when hip-hop wasn’t pop? Because I kind of do. There was still weird stuff getting play. Remember Digable Planets? As cheesy as “Cool Like Dat” may seem to some people, they played that on the radio! They don’t play anything like that on the radio anymore. They don’t even give you a shot unless you’re like, “Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots!” Oh man!
