Producer shades current popstars while praising Madonna
Blood Diamonds. He has worked with Grimes, Madonna, Tinashe, Justin Bieber (produced the global hit 'Sorry'), etc

How did you get hooked up with her? How did touring go? How was recording that album?
Madonna is one of my favorite artists of all time. She’s the queen of pop. So I was stoked to work on it. And DJ Dahi, one of my best friends in recent years, had called me up for that because he thought I would be a good fit for that project. What was supposed to be three days ended up being six weeks in total. We were in New York. It almost felt like summer camp because Dahi and I, we’d walk 15 minutes to the studio every morning and 15 minutes back every night. Madonna is so ****ing tight because she is just so involved in every small thing. I didn’t realize that at the time, because that was like my first big pop production. I had no idea what the protocol was or what usually goes down but, you know there are 18-year-olds who are massive and they don’t even come to the studio to meet the writers or the producer or engineer. They just get handed a phone by the label and the management are like, “Cut this record, it’s a hit.” And they’re like: “OK, **** it.” But Madonna, she’s at the studio every day, right on time. And she’d sit on a drum stool two feet away from me and we’d go through clap sounds and we’d go through bass drums and bass sounds and all this **** and to this day, I’ve never worked with an artist who takes the time.

Outside of the critical world and album sales I feel like Madonna deserves more credit for making her own ****ing record. Even like the art direction, it’s her. On the other hand, you have brand new artists with a team of thinkers behind them who have no artistic inclination for their own project.

Because they can just slap their name on it at some point?
Yeah. I mean, Claire [Boucher] is this generation. She’s setting the example that it’s OK to do everything yourself no matter what. You know? Teenagers aren’t going to recognize Madonna as that kind of force because of when they were born.
he also produced with grimes. he's alternative and doesn't say he's famous. diamond got interviewed and answers questions. or are you saying people aren't allowed opinions? or don't you like it because he says the truth hm

It's been like three and half decades or whatever though. This late praise for a woman who helped built the foundations of female pop music should have been acclaimed, awarded and recognised as one of the hardest working artists then, not now.
Not saying that she wasn't but these newbies acting like they were literally born yesterday.. Madonna isn't new, like hello?
She’s very professional, everything went smooth and she’s a great person,” he said. “My verse I did on that song, she was singing it. She’s really a genius, she was by the mixing board and telling the guy what to take in and take out. She’s really hands-on with her music, she knows music.”
