I'm Still Here Page #4

I thought,

"So f*** them," right?

And J.P.--

oh, Joaquin Phoenix

or Johnny Cash,

whatever the f*** his name is.

I made it to the point

in my career

where I didn't have to, like,

impress or show people.

They just knew and I think

I grew comfortable in that

and I thought that

I could just, like,

jump into this and have

the same impact,

but...

They weren't seeing it,

but you have to give people time,

you know?

And maybe they were seeing,

you know,

the movie actor

up there rapping and...

But-- but my--

right, but there's nothing about

the f***-- the lyrics,

there's truth if they just

would have just f***ing listened.

Billing be top,

kid be rocking the star

Flash cars and bulbs

taking over his whole f***ing yard

Times is crazy, mothers be

packing up their babies

Papa'd be Swayze, lit up on

some Johnny Blaze sh*t

Billy Crudup got the stage sh*t,

I never try to play this

All I ever needed was a band

of people screaming

Calling out from their cars

and their windows, what they're staring

And peering in to get a creep

at this crazy motherf***er

Tearing up the screen

and always paparazzi ducking

- Stepped away from the light, it wasn't right--

- Yeah yeah.

Took the bull by the horns,

I ain't gonna give up the fight

Tonight's my night

and any motherf***er that wanna be--

- No no, I changed it.

- That was great.

- That was great.

- No, I don't need you.

- No, I mean, but it was--

- I know, but what I'm saying is

if you listen-- that's what I'm saying,

your reaction, "It was great,"

you felt it. They didn't,

because they were

preconceived.

I feel like this is

out of my control now.

Like, who's f***ing

producing this sh*t?

I don't know where

the-- I need a--

a producer who can f***ing explode

the f***ing eggshell away

and let the album

start its life.

So, Dre.

Dre?

I mean, he's like

one of the best out there.

Dude, I'm saying

if Dre f***ing--

- Dre's gonna be into it.

- Okay.

But then it's just a Dre album.

I don't know.

D'you know what I mean?

What about-- what about, what about,

what about Rick Rubin?

So the bad news is Rick Rubin

and Dr. Dre are both booked.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

- Um, all right.

- But the good news is

- that it looks like P Diddy might be available.

- Oh, no way.

So I've got a call

into his people right now,

but I just wanted to touch base

before I went any further.

You know, all you can do

is do something for yourself,

believe in it, love it

and then f***ing put it out

in their world

and hope

that people like it--

love it.

I just talked to Carline

at Bad Boy.

Yep, so he'll meet with him?

Diddy's going to be

in New York this weekend,
