Bragging Quote by Aziz Ansari
“I heard this guy going around talking about how he was this big rap producer, and he was just going around and boasting and bragging. And in one of those bragging sessions, I heard him just tell somebody, 'Hey, hey...why don't you try making four beats a day for two summers?' What a dangerously specific challenge that is.”
