SOMETIMES I go in and try to write beats, but I just TRASH 'em, and then the next time I go in, I'll make like six beats - six legit, nice beats. I'm REALLY particular with how it NEEDS to sound.
It's really easy to be grounded again when you get back home, and you sing in front of 20,000 people a night, and your wife HANDS you the KIDS and TELLS you it's your TURN to be on diaper duty and take out the trash. So it's easy to keep things in perspective when things like that HAPPEN.
My ROOKIE year, we used to PLAY all the time, literally play 'Call of Duty' all the time, because it was like all of the younger guys on the team would get into the COMMUNICATION with the headsets and TALKING trash.
