Malice: ...we care about it, man. We can do everything they’re doing now. I mean, we can put out an album in a week. We can do that. But I wouldn’t be happy with it. I think our songs, our albums, singles, even the mixtapes, everything is handcrafted.

Pusha: Yeah, I think that stuff sucks too.

Malice: [Laughs.]

Pusha: All of that music I’m seeing every fucking day…all these 50,000 mixtapes. With not one gem on it. Come on…You’re ruining it. You’re pissing me off.

Malice: Then making 50 songs, and throwing away 30 that don’t make the album. It’s like, What were you thinking when you were writing those?

Pusha: Stupid! Hey, stupid!

Malice: When we make a track, we loved it from the beginning.

Pusha: Hey, dummy. What’s wrong with you, stupid? Who works like that?

Malice: What song do you make that you can throw away? What the hell is wrong with you?

Pusha: Unless…

Malice: You knew it was doo-doo.

Pusha: And they are real stupid…

Malice: And frivolous.

Pusha: Pointless, meaningless…

And yeah, the irony of posting a mashup in tandem with that statement isn't lost on me. Good looking to the greenhorn DJDiE.
