Shawn Setaro
[Producer extraordinaire and longtime Dr. Dre cohort Focus… recently sat down with hip-hop personality and SOHH Correspondent Shawn Setaro on his popular “The Cipher”podcast. Listen to the full interview and check out five gems Focus… dropped during the Q&A.]
On his now impossible-to-find first album, which he recorded when he was signed to a major label after being discovered by Eric B:
“They wanted something like something else. I really wasn’t rapping like myself. I was trying to hone in on what Ma$e was doing, what Bad Boy was doing, instead of just doing what I was doing. So that first record I came out with, I try to bury it under dirt and forget about it.”
On the music he produced while signed to the production company of Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs, best known for his work with Destiny’s Child and TLC:
“All I did was make sure that we remained constant as a sound. Coming out of his production camp, I didn’t want to turn around and sound so left that it didn’t sound right. So a lot of the stuff that we did for Kandi, it had nuances of me but it really was trying to push the movement and the textures that She’kspepe Productions was forward.”
On producing Christina Aguilera’s “Sex for Breakfast”:
“When she came up with ‘Sex for Breakfast,’ it was me and this other writer named Detail. And she was like, ‘I’m married now. I can talk about stuff like this, what I do with my husband.’ So when she started writing that record, that’s what it was. It was her step into womanhood, I guess you would say.”
On the influence of his father, CHIC bassist Bernard Edwards:
“Anything [in my music] that has to do with bass comes from my father. I’m still in wonderment on how he figured out how to make the bass so prevalent and so apparent in a track, but still as a part of the groove and the underlying foundation.”
On working side by side with other producers for the first time on Dr. Dre’s Compton album:
“It was frustrating at first. I’ve never worked with other people so closely before, and so many days at a time. You have to get to learn the people first, and I had to learn when to go under when things would go over. Meaning, I tried my best to go into a room being humble, but you have to learn how to be even more humble when situations may go where you don’t expect them to go.”
When I saw the draft which was of
7159 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash
in his spare time with his computer. . His aunts neighbor has done this for
only 10 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car
