0:00
is about the fact that
0:02
an argument was created about a legend.
0:05
He's getting different bookings,
0:06
different looks, different places. I
0:08
>> I love it, too, because Kane's impact
0:11
it afforded people to start having
0:13
conversation about who Big Daddy Kane
0:15
is, right? And then you learn when you
0:17
go back through his discography of work,
0:20
uh you know, you can't just clown one
0:22
moment of his career that you may not
0:24
have been alive with. His discography of
0:26
work is is elite. It's uh the impact
0:30
that he's made as a as a lyricist, as a
0:33
>> And legends look to him. Artists the
0:35
days legends look to him. Jay-Z
0:36
>> I've seen the same [ __ ] happen to Kane.
0:41
we got to get out of tearing ourselves
0:43
down. We tear our legends down because
0:46
>> No, and we don't understand the legends.
0:47
The legends is the library of the
0:49
>> They're they're almanacs of what of what
0:51
can be. Like there's so many people that
0:53
dudes be When I see dudes crying, "Oh,
0:55
we got a bad deal." Why you ain't go
0:58
>> That could have done your deal for you.
1:00
>> That could have helped you out. Why you
1:01
ain't Why like like Why you ain't figure
1:02
out how did they How did they make some
1:04
of these great albums with no budgets
1:07
>> It's so crazy you saying that, Walo. I
1:09
had a a young man, 33 years old, say to
1:12
me yesterday. He said, "Thank you for
1:14
the conversation that you and Sway gave
1:16
to me." I said, "Why you say that?" He
1:18
said, "I'm 33 years old, and most of my
1:20
generation, we out here picking locks
1:22
when y'all got the keys."
1:25
>> And that [ __ ] I was like, "Wow."
1:28
>> Think Think Think Think Think about
1:30
>> Oh, oh, shout out to DJ Khaled.
1:32
>> That's what I'm talking about. Shout out
1:33
DJ Khaled. But think about that. I'm
1:35
sitting here and I'm like, I remember
1:37
one day I sent this to Lil Yachty,
1:38
right? That's one of my nephews.
1:40
So, I sent him 50 albums, right? And I
1:43
sent him 50 blaxploitation
1:46
>> He was like, "What the [ __ ] is I said,
1:49
"That's everything you need." I said,
1:50
"You can just build off of that."
1:52
Reverend samples, reverend references,
1:53
reverend understandings, reverend album
1:55
covers, reverend art. I said, "Just
1:58
>> Like people don't understand like
2:00
>> And he received it.
2:01
>> Yeah, yeah, he loved it.
2:02
>> Like I know Yadi was like, "Oh, snap.
2:04
>> it. He was he couldn't believe it. Cuz
2:06
cuz they didn't know it exist. This is
2:08
what they got over us. And this is what
2:09
they don't understand.
2:12
We only had the beginning.
2:14
We didn't have no outside of we wasn't
2:16
listening to blues or jazz or or or or
2:19
soul we that's what we had. But
2:21
y'all got now and y'all got a whole
2:24
catalog of of the beginning of hip-hop
2:27
that y'all could be doing radio shows on
2:28
rather as rather as writing rather as
2:30
DJing and it's like oh
2:31
I remember about to tell one dude, man
2:32
these DJs man we don't even need I said
2:34
hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. You
2:36
know DJs ran this, right? You know it
2:37
was Eric B and Rakim. You know it was
2:39
Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Like I said,
2:42
I said no, the DJ was the leader.
2:44
You know that, right?" "What?" They
2:46
couldn't even believe it.
2:47
So that's why they look at DJs these
2:49
days like they ain't nothing. DJs is
2:50
very important to the culture because
2:52
still to this day DJs and radio is very
2:57
And people don't understand that. You
2:58
got a radio star and you got a streaming
3:00
star. Everybody know a radio star.
3:01
Everybody don't know a streaming star.
3:05
>> Think the radio play restaurant the
3:08
radio play in the gym the radio play in
3:10
a grocery store the radio play
3:13
>> like the radio play everywhere. Like
3:15
people be sleeping on the the radio is
3:17
king. And then at the end of the day
3:18
everybody sleep on the radio talk about
3:20
the radio. But when it comes to the
3:22
every year they do the they give out the
3:25
>> When it's time to do these radio to
3:26
smash and power this and that Jingle
3:30
they be but the DJ the DJ need to put
3:32
they need to put some more respect on
3:33
these DJs. These DJs need to come back
3:36
out if I don't know what it it need to
3:42
a cross country DJ conference.
3:43
>> We used to have conferences like the Mix
3:46
>> need it they need it back.
3:47
>> all of those different things. You know
3:49
we feature DJs every week on this show.
