The rapper/produder/label head spoke to Pitchfork about his process today:
I wasn't making this record for five years. I was making this record for two, two-and-a-half years, max. The reason it took that long is because I was starting and stopping because I had to work on something else. The thing is, the records, the way that I do them, they're constantly changing and shifting and redirecting themselves depending on what else I'm doing. One song will be altered depending on the direction I took with another. I'm looking at it as whole piece instead of individual songs. I used to just make songs and fill them up and that was a song. You put it away and you make the next song. I made this record very much as one idea, though you can only work on one song at a time.

Hey, El Producto, we can live without another record for a few years if can actually make the Can Ox reunion happen. Just saying over here.
