ODB is in the back.

We're children of hip-hop.

We really are.

We're not the new age, like,

"We just found out

about rap music."

[man] You left out

Jerry Garcia.

- Oh, Jerry Garcia. [laughs]

- Is he a rapper?

Kids call me the black

Jerry Garcia. I don't know why.

[Meechy Darko] 'Cause you look

like a black Jerry Garcia.

[chuckles]

Damn, we definitely left

somebody out.

Love's gonna get you,

love's gonna get you

[J. Cole] Some stuff

I'd go to, I was like,

"I remember when

this sounded old to me."

Now I hear it differently,

like, "Okay...

yeah, it's old,

but what if I put myself

in the shoes of somebody

who had never

heard this before?"

Like, I went and listened

to KRS's album...

I'm in junior high

with a B-plus grade

At the end of the day,

I don't hit the arcade

I walk from school

to my mom's apartment

I gotta tell the suckers

every day, "Don't start it"

'Cause where I'm at,

if you're soft, you're lost

To stay on course

means to roll with force

...I was blown away, 'cause

I remember a point in time

when I literally was looking

at KRS in that era like,

"Aw, them dudes old."

Like, "Ain't nobody trying

to hear that,"

to when now, as a grown man,

I'm going back, listening,

and like, "Oh, my God.

This went platinum?

This dude is dropping

knowledge.

Like, every bar, this dude is,

like, firing off knowledge."

You know what I mean?

Like...

'cause it was fresh back then,

so to hear that

for the first time was like...

[imitates explosion]

My brother's five years

older than me,

and I told my brother,

like, you know,

"No, MC Hammer is

the best rapper, man.

You gotta check this guy out.

I'm telling you."

I'm dope on the floor

and I'm magic on the mic

And he was like, "No, man."

Like, "MC Hammer's

the best entertainer.

There's a big difference

between what MC Hammer says
