Conquering Writer's Block

[Interlude: MF DOOM & Interviewer]

Every time I hear like, one of your new records, or like

I'm always like impressed with how you like just

Can weave the words together and make it seem so effortless and seamless

And I'm like alright, he's out

There's no way he can come whatever album and do it again

And then bam

Yeah, same thing I be thinking

I'm like, "He's done, I heard with the line," I was like, "Alright"

And I heard on Madvillian, thеn I'm like, "Oh, he's done, thеre's no way he can do it"

And then I heard the MM..FOOD, I was like, "Oh, he did it again

He's got a, he's got to be almost done"

So do you ever, you ever ever worry about like, "Man, I bet I'm going to

I'm going to run out of ways to say words"

You, you ever about writer's block?

Every time

Like after every record, like, you know what I mean?

Always happens, but then I-I, like, you know?

For a couple of months, I might be stuck in that, in that zone

And my wife will tell you, she be like, "Yo"

Every time, I say the same thing like "Yo, I don't know how I do it

What am I going to do? Dah-dah-dah"

Going for months and then I'll shoot it down for the basic format

It's like, yo, the English language is so vast

Not to mention the different dialects, and slang that live on

Plus, when you get other languages mixed with English

And their dialects, and the slangs that came from the um, like

People, migrating into America, you know what I'm saying?

From the Irish to, just all the different types of people, you know what I'm saying?

There's no way you could ever run out of stupid shit to say, you know what I'm saying?

That's really what it's based on, is like something that can make somebody laugh

That we can all relate to, but it's, it's a real thing

You know what I'm saying? Almost like how stand-up comedians do it (Okay)

So, it's like they, if you base it on real life and things that happen naturally in life

It's forever, so, you know, it's just a matter of not thinking too hard about it

And I just gotta keep a pen and pad around me

For when I get those little, stupid thoughts and write them down, you know what I meant (Right, okay)

But yeah, I think it's another ending stream of it

But it even, even now, it's like, I don't know what I'm going to say on the next album

Just 'cause I know that I'll catch another good one

Like I got no time and I'll do my research, you know what I'm saying?

I think I have more faith in this now, though

Mm, food, we need food
