He raps one or two lines at a time, then asks Derek to bring the beat back, picking up where he left off, rapping a line or so more, backtracking, and so on — an incredibly exacting way to make music that sounds so brazenly casual.
Stop asking me all the damn questions less we doing a cover shoot. Riff Raff grows more animated as he goes, swaying and swerving, throwing up his hands, tossing back his head. Derek drags his cursor back and lets the track bang.
