MD: Blackstar wasn’t preachy. But compared to what was coming out, we were a sincere vibration. We just wanted to be professional artists. BIG and Puff were riding around in Bentleys, and it was dope, but that wasn’t us. We wanted to do what we do. We liked it and we enjoyed it. So it was good. I’ll be 36 this year. I ain’t here to waste nobody’s time, because I don’t want you to waste mine. I hope it’s a benefit to you, something useful to you aside from being some passive fan. The record plays, but you can’t talk to me, you can’t respond to what I say. So, while the record is playing, I try to leave some place for the people to feel welcome.
