Bun B f/ T-Pain "Trillionaire" (2010)
Barto: "We had great respect for Bun B as an artist before we worked with him. He had gotten in contact with us and expressed that he wanted to work with us and we were like, 'Of course.' I didn't really know what to expect but artistically I had high hopes. When we finally got into the studio, from the first second after everyone was introduced, it was like, 'Let's get to work.' There was no bullshit. No talking back and forth. No joking around. It was just straight up, 'Let me hear some beats.' The first session we actually made a beat for Bun right on the spot. And he was writing the record while we were working on the beat. And he went ahead and cut that record then boom, on to the next track. We played him a few more beats, he picked one he liked, then went ahead and wrote a rap for that one. It was like three or four the first day.
"From then on, every time Bun was in town he would hit us up and book sessions. It was nothing but work the whole time. We were working with Bun heavy. All night sessions, seven in the morning and not leaving until seven. We were straight up picking beats, making beats, and recording records. We must've done ten records with Bun and 'Trillionaire' just happened to be one of them. But the whole experience was really humbling working with Bun B because he's legendary. The man does not play when it comes to work. If there was an artist boot camp he would be the drill sergeant.

This was a good interview UNTIL they started talking about "writing and arranging" the music for Maybach Music 3 and "changing the game". That was a replayed sample of Caldera - Ancient Source. You can't just sample an artist then act like you are a musical genius for coming up with it. That's not right. I love yall sound though. The music is DOPE. Just not sure why there was no credit given for MM3. It's better to give credit, then to OVER-do the self promotion and then next year it comes out in a lawsuit that it contained a sample. Keep up the good music, fellas.
