MAN: Puff, how was it with,
you know, making Ready to Die?
I would compare it to--
I jumped out a plane last year
-for my birthday.
-That is insane.
I would compare it--
I would compare it like that,
making Ready to Die,
like that.
There wasn't no rules,
it wasn't nothing,
it was just like,
yo, you gotta jump,
you can't be looking back,
you can't be thinking.
You know as soon
as you get in the studio
you start thinking
about the moves,
you start thinking
about ratings--
You start thinking
about anything else besides
(EXHALES) that jump.
As you get more successful,
you start to overthink more,
that's one of the mistakes
that I-- I've made.
I'd say music, though,
is one of the freest forms.
It's like,
if you compared it to a sport,
it would be jumping
out of a plane.
