Black Thought

And they were doing like Black Lily, these open mic nights with all these different artists coming through.

Like Black Thought would be freestyle and Common would come through.

You'd see the artists they were recording with like D'Angelo and Erykah Badu and Jill and and Bilal and all these different artists come through and I'm there while all this is happening.

So it was just an inspiring time to be a young artist.

I've been trying to stay away from too much of the tour so far.

But from what I gather, Black Thought seems to be at every show.

Really? He's all over the latest album.

He has three or four songs.

That's why I can speak about it so easily and so vividly, but knowing that there was always this, yo, chill, you know, so, those individuals in my life.

And then musically, I talk about it all the time, you know, Big J, Nas, you know, Black Thought, The Lox, Black Star, you know, The GZA, Mase, you know, there's a plethora of people that I grew up on musically that were that for me as well.

So it's this combination of everybody I named on record and off the record, you know?

Amazing.

It diminishes the whole idea of art.

I think if when you, when you put it in that way, so where your stuff is most definitely art.
