• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I didn't think about what it was or anything.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: And then when it came out, they was like, because

  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: The New York Times said that you were in search
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: of a masterpiece, right, and and I I never would
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: have I never would have seen it that way. But

• 5:13
  Speaker 2: never well a lot of things that Tony Tony Tony
• 5:16

• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody knew you could you work with prints,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: but never a thing where you hung your shingle. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I think every every dope artist needs that, right of course. Yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I think that For me, I was in search of
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: just like not destroying the legacy, you know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I felt like my I feel like my my journey
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: of work is uh, it's pretty solid, you know, from
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: work with other people. Sure, so when I go in
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: the studio, I just don't want to come out with
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: something to everybody, like, you know, he should have stopped,
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: but he was, you know, and then if something great
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: comes out of that, thenis you know. But I was
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: telling somebody like my seventh grade talent show at Elmhurst
• 5:57

• 6:08
  Speaker 5: I play, as the record goes off, I continue to
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: play and the school goes oh my god he could play.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Then I played another one by the Dust and Rappers Delight,
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: and the school was going nuts, and so like, I

  Speaker 5: snuck the base again back to the school because I
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: had to be in the show. And you know what,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: I just pretty much killed the whole place. I mean,
