R&B Round Table: Can You Make Love To Your Own Music?

Page 2 of 2

Leelonn: I don't know about cool, but it is flattering if she asks if I could play some unreleased music in our personal time. I don't give it much thought honestly. Nine times out of ten I'm listening to my own music anyway to see [if] I could add or edit something from it before I return to the studio, so yeah.

Patrick Sims: [laughs] That's awful. I can't see myself doing that. But I have had some friends tell me they played my music while they were "bedding" and it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. It's cool in a sense that I have that "baby making music," but for friends to tell me...it makes me awkwardly imagine the action. And funny thing is that one of the friends that told me that now has a baby sooo I'm assuming their baby was made to my voice. [laughs] Weird.

Senze: What rule? I didn't know a rule existed. [laughs] It has happened to me before to be honest. I wouldn't purposely put on my own music; that would definitely be lame. But usually in that situation my iPod is on a shuffle of my R&B playlist which my music is definitely on and if one of my records happened to come on I'd probably double take and think "Wow." I Damn sure wouldn't stop to change it though. I mean that's what we make the music for right?
