I've got some growing up to do.

Growing up in the Bay, I was still looking for a lot of East Coast hip-hop. I had an older homie put me on to a lot of stuff like Nas' 'Illmatic.'

We're really critical with the process of who we hire. But when you put great people in position, that's how you avoid any missteps.

In the past, my process would start with a sample of another song, and I'd chop it up and use that as the basis of the song that I was making.

Growing up in Stockton wasn't all doom and gloom.

The brain needs to have a story; it needs to have a logical screenplay telling where we're coming from and what we're going to.

C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around.

Pearl Jam were a part of my growing up.
