    This is a difficult question to answer; however, for me, the biggest problem I run into is time shortage. It just seems like there's not enough time in a day to accomplish everything.

    Number 4 is a big one for me. I also have problems finding a sound that I know I haven't heard before, sounding like someone else bothers me.

But that's the issue right now finding those who want beats. I'd also like a cluster of email address of people who are looking for someone who makes dope beats so I can send them my work

    My biggest problem is getting kind of annoying. It starts when some kid posts my address on the internet, then when I get get home there's a bunch of people on my porch yelling stuff like "I love you, Dr. Strangelove!" or "Dr. Strangelove, sign my baby!"

    Then I'll do an interview with the source or XXL or something and I'm like "Yo, mother****ers need to respect my privacy or I'mma bring out the suicide special." Then, media outlets pick it up and try to say that I'm threatening to kill my fans- but really I'm just trying to make a point. They make me look like some kind of monster when all I want is for my little girl to be able to play in the yard without people yelling and taking photos and shit.

    Of course, the city won't let me put a fence up because of "zoning laws". It's getting to be a little much.

    You'll never accomplish everything in a day. You just have to get that illusion of time out of your mind.

    Not really, I use my mailing list all the time. Its great for sending Exclusive Tracks and Remix's, stuff that I want only my active fans to see cause it keeps them, well... active. Active fans means they dig what you do, which means they'll go to your concerts, buy your tracks, spread the word about you... etc.
