HHDX: You’ve said before that Atlantis is the third of the trilogy, so what is next?

:Honestly dude, no boundaries. I know it’s kind of contrived and pretentious to say that but I can guarantee you that’s how I feel. This record I’m just gonna make tracks and see where it goes, I might not even arrange stuff. Sometimes I make stuff and I like it but then I think "oh it’s too long." If I go over 4:30 I know I probably won’t get it on the radio. I always have both sides of my brain working when I make a song and I just wanna turn off the one side of my brain that deals with structure and just go at it. I’m tired of intro, 16 bar verse, 8 bar chorus, 16 bar verse, 8 bar chorus, 16 bar verse, break down, 8 bar verse, outro, etc. I’m sick of structure, what if the chorus just came in after 2 bars? It would drive people nuts if I did something like that! But I know I need to work myself up to that. I have to own that, I can’t just do it cause it’s the cool thing to do.
