Also, he has been thinking for years that Royce has excellent potential. Crook started this conversation with Marshall during their interview:
>What do you think about Royce as a producer? Is it weird?
It’s really fucking weird. I told him years ago, years ago when we first met, I said, yo, you should… ‘Cause the way he was picking his beats and his ear for them!.. I was like, “Yo, why don’t you just make beats?” ‘Cause I first started making beats and learned how to do it, you can control what you make. So it’s like. Making the song, “Lose Yourself” and sitting there from the beginning down to the end of the completed song, make this trajectory go wherever you want it to go… Right? Both of us were still focused on rap but I think he would rather have pushed his time into the pen. But kept telling him even years later, like, “Yo, man, I’m telling you, you’d be good at it”. And he started doing the shit and than I didn’t hear from him for a couple of months, and then he started hitting me off with beats and I was like, “yo, this shit is crazy!” “You Gon’ Learn” one?
Yeah, this shit was hard.
Man, I was like, “What the fuck? Like, man, how did you get this good this quick?”
Yeah, same with me, man. I went over there, he like, “I’m making beats now, Crook”. I said: “For real?”. He started making a beat, I was like, “Man, this shit kinda dope”. I went outside to smoke a cigar and I started thinking a 16 bar rap, and I said: “I’m thinking of a rap to a Royce beat”. And I went back and I’m like, “Yo, I’m doing a new album with my little brothers Family Business, do you wanna produce the whole thing?” And he was like, “You think I’m ready for something like that?” And I’m like, “Yeah, I think you’re ready, let’s get it”. That’s when we came over and played you the stuff over there.
