Back to your book. You talk about the time period when you and Missy became a part of DeVante Swing’s Da Bassment Cru production team. It sounded pretty awful the way he pretty much hazed you. What do you think about his tactics now?
He put us through what every father would do — pressure. Now I look back at it, some of the stuff I might need to apply to all my kids today. I tell Rich Homie Quan and I tell Young Thug. But now it's a different approach, 'cause they’re making money. How do I talk to them when they making 100 grand or 200 grand? So I gotta talk to them from a different perspective. I’m like, “This can dry up. Trust me, I done lost it all twice.” I wanna be the guy that you come to and let me be the guy to go talk to my brother Jay Z or Jimmy Iovine. I ain’t trying to be competing with no Apple, but the flow of music runs through either me or Drake. I’d rather team up with people like Drake.

What do you mean, runs through you or Drake?
He is really tapped into everything in the culture. Him, J. Cole, and Kendrick [Lamar]. 'Cause they are that [points to computer], the internet. They know that s--- up and down. Drake got playlists. An old-school cat would be like, “A playlist? We ain’t doing that!” We got to. We gotta be the ones to invent the next wheel. But sometimes we get complacent. Drake is on everything. All that stuff I thought about five, six years ago. But what happened is life. Now I’m getting back to it, like, “Okay, you jumped the boat, but I started this. You are my baby. So now I gotta come and play with you, brother. Let me show you how I really played back in the ’90s.”

Are you on Drake’s Views From the 6?
I could be.

That sounds like a yes to me?
I don't know, who knows. [Laughs.] Ask him, he might tell you.

Might be the biggest record to come along in a long time.
I look at him like he could be related to me because he’s part of music. That boy’s doing a good job. You can’t compete with Drake because he got it. You gotta shock people in another way. I think Timbaland and Young Thug is more shocking than Drake. Because you know what Drake is. But you never saw what Timbaland and Thug is. You never saw what Timbaland and Rich Homie Quan is. You never saw what Timbaland and Migos can do. You’ll be like, “You see the difference between what Timbaland did [compared to the old]?” That will be the talk. And that will be a “View,” along with his Views. You gotta find a way to stand beside that dude.
