In this throwback clip from 2008, Plies details his process for writing and composing new material.
The Florida emcee explains that his lyrics are based on what's happening in his life at the time, citing arguments with friends and run-ins with the cops as examples.
Moving on, Plies reveals that when he listens to a track's beat, it'll often inspire him to go back and completely change the lyrics to a song he's already written.
When asked if he knows when he's created a hit, Plies answers, "All the time. I felt good about [Shawty] but I didn't know it was gonna be the number one record in the country though."
