I agree with peezy, sampling makes it very possible to accomplish. The music is already there recorded, all you got to do is chop it up, re-sequence, and program some drums. Not saying that its easy to make a hot sampled beat, but it is easy just to chop and re-arrange something into anything, just to say you made a beat.
I think when he said that, it may be true, but out of all those beats only like 20 ended up on his debut album, and maybe 20 more on various other projects before. So obviously he wanst talking about making 5 HOT beats everyday for 3 yrs. It sounds like he was just laying down whatever idea he had and 90% of them probably got tossed.
When I first started making beats I made like 2-3/day for like a year straight, all composed, but all pretty much average. Its easy to just make a bunch songs that are average. Making 5 HIT songs a day for 3 summers is pretty much impossible though. Not even Quincy Jones could accomplish that.
Nowadays I'm like the others on here, I just focus on one song, and trying to make it the best it can be, even if it takes a week, but thats composing. With a sampled beat there is only so much you can do with one sample, eventually you've expolored all the options, it thats not goin to tale a week, maybe a day or two. And a lot less tracks to to mix as well.

EYENSEE, I like that quote. I used to follow that motto exclusively. Lately I find myself getting too caught up on the same song though, but its true, its better to just say its done and start another one. Then apply what you learned from the last to the next, as opposed to trying to use all your knowledge on that one beat, thinking its going to become some kind of masterpiece or something, cuz it never does.
I think theres an old saying that songwriters are always searching for their best song, but you never actually ever achieve it, but in the process each song you do make gets better.
