These are the legacy artists that the 369 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: architects of what we are lebrating, and you can't forget. 370 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: You have to find very crafty ways to keep them 371 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: in the conversation because we so easily disregard it's just 372 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 4: specifically R and B artist. I don't know if you 373 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 4: noticed that, but country artists don't go that member Hank 374 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: Aaron or. 375 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 6: I got it all wrong.

It became something more than just 443 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 4: the music. It became a culture. Fuck being a king, 444 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 4: I want a kingdom, you know what I'm saying. It's 445 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 4: time for us to be able to lift. 446 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 6: That R and B movement up just as much. 447 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 4: That's why you come to Vegas and that sophistication is 448 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 4: out there, That skate is there, that entertainment is there 449 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 4: because that's R and B, and you don't get that 450 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 4: every day. That ain't gonna be something that everybody gets, 451 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: but it creates a conversation that I think is odd. 452 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying When I hear that comparison, 453 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 4: it's funny, especially for people who. 454 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 6: Have done things that nobody else has done. 455 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 4: But it's also to misinform me because the new kids, 456 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 4: they actually think, oh yeah, if I. 457 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 6: Have this amount of streams or this amount. 458 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 4: Of like looks and likes love that that was a 459 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 4: part of building that legacy. 460 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 6: Don't matter.

And it's no 463 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 5: disrespect that these guys are great. You can't compare a 464 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 5: Weekend to a Michael Jackson, you know what I'm saying. 465 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 5: You can't compare Chris Brown to an Usher. 466 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: They're great.
