“I'm so much like my dad that this approval isn't even like a thing that I look for... I don't like to stop my creative process to pay so much attention to what he thinks because that's going to make things kind of hard. That's a lot of pressure.”
▶ 1:51Vina Love explains her approach to collaborating with her father, highlighting the importance of maintaining creative freedom.
“We have more freedom than regular people because our brains are able to do the things that regular people can't do. So to take the pressures of what people think you should do... that's kind of like a waste of you know that creative space that you have in your head.”
▶ 6:54Vina Love discusses ignoring societal pressures regarding provocative content or artistic choices.
“If I don't like a song I can't bring myself to be like oh yeah I'm just going to do this song because it's this person... I'm too creative to just put out just anything and that's why it takes me so long to like keep releasing music because it has to feel and be right.”
▶ 7:58Kid Capri explains his selective criteria for collaborations and why he releases music infrequently.
“My album Soundtrack to the Streets was the very first album of its kind... it had Jay-Z and Busta and Nas and Lost Boy and everybody on there.”
▶ 11:30Kid Capri reflects on his pioneering role in the mixtape industry and the historic nature of his 1998 album.
“The first four beats I played for them they had rhymes for each beat... they didn't have to write it down and do nothing when right there did it and we did four joints that day that impressed me so much.”
▶ 18:56Kid Capri describes the impressive natural talent and preparation level of the group The Hoodies.
