The race factor was just a minuscule part of what I was doing with Eminem. It was really about the music and how well we worked together.

In fact, I would advise against anyone doing reality shows. I won't be doing 'X Factor' just yet.

Everything in my life has been about sound and making music, so Beats represents just that - the improvement of sound and the dedication to everything I've been doing from the day I started.

I just want to get my music out and make sure that it's heard in the right way.

I don't even listen to the records after they come out. It's outlawed in my house. My wife and my kids can't play any of my music around me. Once it comes out, for me, it's just business. Numbers.

One of the first people that believed in me, the first person to invest in my talent, me and this guy used to argue all the time in the studio, but at the end of the day, we both realized that we were after the same goal, and that was to make great music. And I'm talking about Eazy-E.
