I'm trying to change the root of funk, trying to make it more progressive, more melodic and more lyrically structured.
I really reject that kind of comparison that says, Oh, he is the best. This is the second best. There is no such thing.
So much of our lives is given over to the consideration of our imperfections that there is no time to improve our imaginary virtues. The truth is we only perfect our vices, and man is a worse creature when he dies than he was when he was born.
