I started playing instruments before I started making beats, and I was never the best guitarist or the best pianist or the best drummer. And when I started making beats, I was not the best beatmaker, and when I started making hooks, I was not the best vocal melody person. When I first started rapping, I wasn't the best rapper at all.

When I was making beats, I don't remember thinking about doing it as a career, I just remember that every day I wanted to do it.

You can have a bunch of individually good players, but it doesn't matter. You gotta learn to play like a team.
