Great artists need a clear personal ambition and must actively prove themselves. The speaker uses Wayne's desire to become the greatest MC as an example, pointing to collaboration with other rappers and experimenting with beats as concrete steps to demonstrate skill and versatility.

So I usually like artists who have something they want to do, right? I could get on board with them. Wayne was like, I want to be the greatest MC. And I'm like, I see where his— what's his bar and what he want to— was important to him, basically, right? So now I know, okay, cool, we need to prove— you need to prove yourself on a couple fronts. You need to rap with other rappers, you need to get on other kind of beats, we need to do all these things that he embraced. And, you know, I'm sure he's happy with the outcome, you know, you know, I mean, it's just that he's in a conversation.
