Mike Skinner: To be very young and very famous - a bit like winning the lottery, it doesn’t usually end well

“When you’re young you think old people are a bit stupid. But they’ve done everything we’ve done, plus everything the previous generations did, and the one before that. I think old people almost become Buddhists. They’re like: ‘It ain’t worth me saying shit so I’m going to just sit here and chill’” - Mike Skinner, aka The Streets told in a Guardian interview about his new release 'None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive', a mixtape full of guest spots from young stars. A few more interesting thoughts, like the one on a choice of career - "I’ve got so many incredible stories of people changing their lives with rap. And it’s a nice thing to see. Because nobody wants a life of crime. It’s very hard work. It’s much easier to be a musician than a drug dealer”.
