I was a schoolteacher for a while, and it was the worst job.

When I first started producing, all I had was this little crappy sampler called a S20, which had, like, a minute sample time. I was making crappy beats since I was, like, 17 or 18, using Florida rappers, where I'm from. Then I started DJ'ing because I just wanted to have a new job.

My first production job after M.I.A. was actually the xx, but they didn't like what I did, and at the end of the day, we used their demos.

This is the worst employer I've dealt with as long as I've been doing this job -- about 30 years.

All I know is don't ever get into a feud with Taylor Swift. She has, like, 50 million people that will die for her. You can't step into that arena.
