15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: I used to play ball and do albums. So when

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: I did the ar Senior Whole Show, I wanted to

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: come into the game different. You know, let me let

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: me wrap on my favorite rapper, so Foo sniggers at

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: the time. I reached out to them. Wow. We did

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: a song What's Up? Doc? And then after I performed,

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: because I used to perform in the mirror, like I

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: was like I knew all the like I'm like I'm

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: in my mind of a rapper.

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait, what are the rapper moves?

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: Can we get a little you know? Back then there

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: was the shoulder in the in and out like so,

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, like you said you were from Queens. I

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: was a rapper. I was I was big Daddy, I

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: was ll I was buddy. So it came natural to me.

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: So when I got on our Senior Has show and

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: did that performance, my agent commany next. They said, Man,

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe this. Said what he said, jo,

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: I want to give you ten million for three albums.

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: I had to take it, That's what I'm saying. I

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: had to take it, and plus and plus I hold

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: most of them like I had a bird Man deal

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: before that. You know what I'm saying. So when I

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: came to the realization, not a rapper, So I went

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: home thinking and then I said, okay, go back to then.

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: I said, I will only do it if I could

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: wrap my favorite rappers. And I agree, Biggie Hard, Oh

Speaker 1: The bar is always on point. Who influenced you? Man?

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: Growing up?

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: It was Eminem was the first like one that like,

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: I the bug that bit me Eminem.

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: It was like g Unit, Eminem, fifty Lloyd Banks, did

60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: you have the tank tops?

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: No?

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: But like my first rap I ever wrote was like

63
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: I'm from Queens with baggy jeans and I was not

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: from Queens, but like fifty was the coolest person in

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: the world, you know what I mean. So it was

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: g Unit and then it was like Wayne, and then

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: it was Kanye And I didn't get into jay Z

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: till I was older because jay Z's like content you

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: have to be of a certain like maturity level, I

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: feel like to even grasp what he's saying.

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: So I didn't get into jay Z e Tao. I

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: was like seventeen eighteen.

73
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, high school was just all Wayne because I

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: was in high school six to twenty ten.

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: And Wayne and six and seven was like just nuts.

76
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: He put out like seventy six songs in two thousand

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: and seven or something when he was just wrapping on

78
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: everyone going crazy. But yeah, Wayne, J Cole, Nipsey, Drake, Kanye,

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: and Yeah DMX. I love DMX's cadence. His cadence like

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: the pausing and the ramping. To me, his cadence was

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: the closest to Tupac.

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Like that's why.

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: I just like like how he would deliver the bars.

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: It was like melodic in a sense because it would.

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Ramp up, you know what I mean.

86
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: It was like it was like, I don't know, it's

87
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: just so cool to.

88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: Me before you go give me your mount rushmore like

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,360
