And so... I don't understand how that's possible.
I didn't believe it.
I didn't believe that it happened.
So the very first meeting, I just thought that these two were trying to just scam me for, like, Tonight Show tickets or whatever.
That's what I thought it was.
And then they came by the next week with a hard drive.
And even then, I was like, well, the footage must be bad or maybe Stevie had an off day or... Right, right, right.
And everything I saw was magic.
And...
To this day, the reason why, even when I agreed to do this, at first I was just gonna compile like 17 songs.
Yes.
Wow, like a mixtape, you know, that sort of thing.
But the curiosity kept burning me inside that like,
The question I ask is, is black erasure this easy?
And that's the thing, I think oftentimes when we speak of Black Lives Matter or is that racist or not racist, I think people think of the most extreme definition of it.
In their minds, they're saying, well, I've never once,
hung somebody to a cross or castrated them or set them on fire.
So I'm not racist, but there's other, there's benign levels of racism as well.
And even as sort of the, sort of the dismissal of like, well,
we'll pass, you know, we're good.
