“I don't want to do one of those records where it's like a compilation of a bunch of all sorts of rappers on my beats. I don't find those to be focused albums. I'd like to sit and work a whole record with a certain person, to come up with a concept and see it through that way.” WayWantPersonsWholeCertainRecordsBeatsConceptsCome UpAlbumsFocusedBunchRapperCompilation Author:Flying Lotus
“But who you are is not a concept in the sky, and it's not a record of you accomplishments either. The most original and creative side of you can re-emerge only when you get time of your own, free time, wide-open time, uncommitted time, time in which to go after dreams or do absolutely nothing if you choose. Without it you can't have a self.” IfsSelfDreamSidesCreativeRecordsSkyConceptsOriginalsWho You AreAgingWideAccomplishmentYou ChooseAbsolutely NothingFree TimeUncommitted Author:Barbara Sher
“An album for me as a teenager in the '70s was a fully formed concept. It was a body of work from an artist I liked or trusted or who excited me. Maybe one of the songs is really poppy and you listen to it on the radio as a hit single and then more of the world is about to find out about this artist by buying the record.” WorldBodyArtistSongRecordsConceptsRadioAlbumsExcitedTeenagerBuyingTrustedPoppies Author:Christopher Bollen
“For me, DJ culture - with its obsession with collecting records and archiving everything - predated the "cloud" concept with primitive material like the mixtape. Now we would call it "collaborative filtering" or something technical, but the impulse is the same - gather fragments, make something new. That is how you will bypass the climate-change skeptics: render them totally obsolete.” CultureRecordsMaterialsConceptsClimateClimate ChangeCloudsObsessionImpulseSomething NewPrimitiveFragmentsCollectingSkepticObsoleteDjsBypassMixtapes Author:DJ Spooky
“If you're a novelist, you have sort of themes that run throughout novels. You start a novel and you finish a novel. With record-making in the singer-songwriter world or whatever it is that I do, it's a little different because there is no specific arc that is necessarily, like it's not a concept record.” IfsWorldLittlesDifferentRunningNovelRecordsConceptsSingersNovelistsThemeSongwritersSinger SongwritersArcs Author:Amos Lee
“Every time I try to disown that concept for myself, which is a really healthy perspective, they bring it back all the time. It's so serious and so real and so tangible that you don't want to taint it with anything other than the thing itself. I was tickled pink with my very zen self, walking around saying that I made a record because I wanted to make a record. That's so beautiful. It's like a haiku poem. That takes away all the tension and the expectation.

“I have always been involved with radio, whether it was as an artist talking to radio about my own songs, or as a promotion man at Def Jam to working records through my company. In 2000 I was asked to host a show in Norfolk VA and through that show I was then asked to host the morning show in Detroit. The concept of the show was around Hip Hop. We were active in the community and we wanted to do a local show that had a hip hop feel around it.” MenFeelsShowsWantedArtistSongCommunityMy OwnCompanyTalkingMorningRecordsInvolvedConceptsHip HopRadioActiveLocalsHipsHopsHostPromotionJamDetroitNorfolk Author:MC Serch
