Coli Artists - How long did it take you to top your 'best song'?

[Mac Casper]

Every songwriter has their crowning achievement, that one song that they put on a pedestal as something that is unlikely to be surpassed any time soon. The work they're most proud of.

For example, someone tells you one of your songs is hot and you think to yourself "Ya . . . but it's not my [insert your #1 song here]"

So my question to the artist of The Booth . . how long did it take you to surpass that song that you felt was your best work?

Also how do you think mainstream artists feel about their work? For example, 50 Cent has been looking to recreate the success of "In Da Club" for years. What song do you think Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem or Dr. Dre look at as their most impressive achievement?

That's the way it was when I first started and for a long time after, my studio rate was $55 an hour and I was going in weekly to knock some tracks out, I'm glad I started out working in that environment because it taught me the importance of being prepared. There'd be the rare occasion where last weeks song was a little better than this weeks but I was consistent in topping myself every week.

But then I began working on a different goal and I achieved something that's been hard to top It was no longer about just putting dope lyrics together, it had to be a marketable concept . . a hit :mcmuffin:
