Um. 37 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: The fact that he's pioneered, the fact that Um, for 38 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: me personally, I feel like he's to hip hop with 39 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: princes to pop music. He is like why do you 40 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: say pop? I mean because Prince Prince is a genius. 41 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: He's mysterious. He wasn't all the Internet, he wasn't over 42 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: by television. He just did his thing. Prince never really 43 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: swore he I think he has one curse in his 44 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: whole catalog of rocket music, and never said the N word. 45 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: So anyway, it was amazing. We got to meet him, 46 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: which was another thing. Thank you so much for that. 47 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: It's like a bucket list person. Incredible show. That was 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: the first time, you know, that was the second time 49 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: I met him, and and and the first time I 50 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: met him I talked about on the podcast. It was 51 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: it was a surprise. So I was like, oh, ship, 52 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Like last night, we knew we were going to see 53 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: rock Kim. We knew we had all access passes, so 54 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: I assumed that I would. I would meet York excited. 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: I never never I've been I've been with you, met 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: jay Z three times. I never see You're like so 57 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: because you know him. But the picture I have of 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: you two together, you looked like a kid.

Because the thing and the thing 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: about meeting rock Kim is because he's one of those 63 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: lines in his song he's so low key that you 64 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: might not see me incognito taking it easy. That's real. 65 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: Like rock Kim was in his prime, of all primes. 66 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: He was never out and about, never a lot of interviews. 67 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: Like there was a a mistique about him, which is 68 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: opposite of rappers now, which is and that's fine, I 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: mean even not even back then. It's opposite of it's 70 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: it's opposite of just stars. Like he just always had 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: this mistique and he kept this mistique. So when you 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: met him, like we we we went, it was like 73 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: there was separate little backstage.
