Every album I make big records. I'm going to always make an anthem. That's what I do.
People have this delusion that everything has to be for everybody at all times. Every album must be liked by everybody, and every TV show must be liked by everybody, and every movie must be liked by everybody. Everything then becomes bland.
[Drizzy] ,it was dope. A great experience, especially with the topic he was talking about and to be... organic.I'm glad that it worked out the way it did where I got to tell my story, tell his story at the same time... and actually have it make sense as far as the whole concept of the album.
I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection.
When I was working with David Cassidy at the Rio, I made an album of updated versions of some 1970s disco tunes. I had a blast.
Rickey doesn't have albums, Rickey has CDs.
Plastic Beach will be the last Gorillaz album ever released. You've heard it from medirect.
Yeah. It's all in the music first. The music is like women to me. It's like how you pick your music: everybody got their own different way how they pick their women and their music, and I guess that's what the album becomes.
I don't care at all about the mainstream; I don't care about popularity contests; I don't care about who's got the biggest-selling album; and I don't care about glossy production.
I can say is if anyone gets a chance to work with [Dr.]Dre, it's a moment you will always take with you throughout your career. And as of right now, the Compton album is the only thing to talk about.
I went along and basically learned a few of the songs they were doing at the time, which were quite a few of the songs we ended up doing on our first album.
There are a lot of things in Queen albums that you don't expect; that's why we threw them in
Smokin' at the Half Note is the absolute greatest jazz-guitar album ever made. It is also the record that taught me how to play.
Over all Avenged Sevenfold the album is 10 times better than the others.
I see songs not as a commodity used up when the album goes off the charts, which is often the case with pop songs. I see them as a body of work. Life should be breathed into them.
I'll always have songs with a farm connotation on my albums. It's in the fabric of my music, and I plan to keep it that way.
I have got an anthology album out. The American version has got the same mixes but the European version, I remixed them in the studio and added a couple of things that I have always wanted to add.
The first album was 99 percent hard core to show you I was the best rhymer in the world.
Some people say we have thirteen albums that all sound the same. That isn't true. We have fourteen albums that all sound the same.
I don't do something because I think it will sell 30 million albums. I couldn't care less. If it sells one, it sells one.
Anytime you have a fellow artist say, 'Loving the new Luke Bryan album,' that's awesome.
I want to do an album with Steven Seagal.
I want to sell out arenas and make an album and work with some of the best artists in the world.
It's not necessarily a church theme and it's not really about church. I like my album themes to be metaphors because it gives me the freedom to speak about something else that's going on in my life, so the Born Sinner thing is not about church, it's not even about religion. It's using that as canvas to get other messages across and that's what the album will be.
My goal is to drop 10 projects in 2013. All albums. I gotta do it. I know the 10 projects I want to drop.
