“I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used...” — Busta Rhymes Quote

“Brooklyn is where I primarily developed. I had an opportunity to make records and perform in clubs here and there, and I started networking with the right people in the right places.”

“I feel like I introduce another level of my creative ability on every album.”

“I've got six solo albums. I've been round the world three times. I don't even think about the Roses.”

“Taylor's first four albums have been certified platinum a combined 21 times, but despite her unprecedented success in country music, '1989' is strictly pop.”
