I Love Jazz. So To Me, There Are Two Main Types Of Jazz. There's Dancing Jazz, And Then There's Listening Jazz. Listening Jazz Is Like Thelonius Monk Or John Coltrane, Where It's A Listening Experience. So That's What I Like; I Like To Make Stuff That You Listen To. It's Not Really Meant To Get You Up; It's Meant To Get Your Mind Focused. That's Why You Sit And Listen To Jazz. You Dance To Big Band Or Whatever, But For The Most Part, You Sit And Listen To Jazz. I Think It Comes From That Aesthetic, Trying To Take That Jazz Listening Experience And Put It On Hip-hop.
