You've got a 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.560 lot of surprises, you know that. So Yo, you guys 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.920 spent thirty years. We celebrate Jake thirty thirty year amnimursary 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:22.880 a reasonable doubt. 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:24.440 What does that mean to you? 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:24.840 Man? 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.600 So to me, this is music I grew up on. 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:29.680 Hove is my number one artist. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.520 He from my thinking, got me into Hima and over 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.760 at the time I've been able, of course to work 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.560 with him. They have to write an essay for booking 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.200 Whove and get like involved. That's like amazing to me. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.440 And what it means when you look at and time 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.760 is music marks time. Yet that's why you could be 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.280 at a wedding and the saw and plays and it's. 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.480 Like how you met or an important moment, and then 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.440 you can be an anniversary and it's another moment. And 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.080 so I think when the other of us who grew 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:58.160 up on is it's meaningful. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.400 But then you look at the fact that home uh 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.600 is not just transcended where he was, Yes, brought so 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.160 many people, Uh, you know, Bleek made Millia's day. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.000 Fairest of his feelings. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.720 And so what we're seeing is to me a way 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.280 to both celebrate and mark history, but not be stuck 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.800 in the past and look at elevation. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:24.200 Yes, excellence, uh, building and so so there are alreadys. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.520 Sometimes I mean I love Mahamali, Yes, his love his past. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.400 So that is of course looking in the past. And 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.240 I think in hip hop, because you. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.080 Guys are the first generation that we watched actually grow 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.280 up into this new era, yes, and be in a 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.080 different life stage. Everyone's figuring out what does that mean? 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.680 Where's it mean to see Havin fifty five, fifty six 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:43.160 years old? 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.960 Rocket stage? And so that's what it means to me? 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:46.640 Where does it mean to you? 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:47.080 Oh? 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.640 It means the world of me? Like I said, jay 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.160 Z was twenty four years old, I was fourteen years old. 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.880 That's crazy, right, you know what I'm saying. And then 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.440 we did Come of the Age. It came out two 0:15:58.560 --> 0:15:59.120 years later. 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.600 We did it in nineteen ninety four, it dropped in 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.560 ninety six, and here we are thirty years ago. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.840 I was a kid, treatman of this life, and here 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.880 I am now. So it means the world of me. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.240 And that's what's so ironic that during Coming to Age, 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.920 he ripped the paper out the notebook and gave it 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.240 to me and said, as fast as you remember this 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.680 piece of paper will be as fast as your life change. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.200 Here. We are here, we are one hundred percent right. 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.480 So I just wanted to say, man, how to I 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.560 watch a lot of news when it comes to the 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.240 news and to slay you the number one nobody got 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.560 bars like ari yo, if you ever think about trapping 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:37.480 the soul yourself? 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.360 Thereau you spitting all the bars right, So he wi me. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.440 So I'm not as I'll be walking down the streets 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.320 and we go, oh you do the rap news.

That's that's Quincy Jones school where he went. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.480 That's where Jimmy Hendricks went. So there was a rich 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.240 tradition around. So you also learn to like know what 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.000 you can do and what you bring and what you don't. 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.359 So we were surrounded by musical legacies and obviously the 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.320 music program there was all yes, So I wasn't in 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.399 the music like I was friends with the musicians and 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.040 I was like into it. 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.359 But I'm not bringing that so I'm I'm trying to 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.359 be knowledgeable and all about that.
