i look at their production discography, and I'm like..how the hell did they have time to complete so many songs..but I imagine if you have a consistent schedule, concrete due dates, eliminate drama & distractions.. “Write,” encourages Jimmy. “If only one out of a hundred will be good, then write a hundred…Songwriting is something you’ve got to want to do. Money isn’t what it’s about. It’s a God-given talent you have to use.” I'm charged. I'm thinking I can focus on writing one hit a week, for the rest of my life, I can become a fraction of their legacy, which is cool with me, that's still major status. all I need is one to hit, and everything will change.

I learned how to play the keys by listening to Jam and Lewis songs. Their genius was using a lot of the same chord progressions on multiple hit songs. So once you learned one you learned like 5 or 6. Like I'm only human is almost the same as Ralph T. Sensitivity and Come Back to Me Janet Jackson. I'm definitely from the School of Jam and Lewis. #respect
