My name got kind of hot as a D.J. around town; on the north side of town, they had 'D.J. Juicy J.' That's what I called myself: 'The Notorious D.J. Juicy J.'
I really wasn't planning on being a solo artist.
I want to be the president of Columbia Records, maybe C.E.O. - kind of like L.A. Reid.
I listen to all kinds of music. I love underground, new music that's popping.
I love Linkin Park; that's one of my favorite groups, that I went to all their concerts. I love those guys, man. They do, like, pop-rock, know what I'm saying?
I don't live in the past or focus on making new songs sound like my old stuff; it would be stupid, and I don't think anyone would like it.
