There was a lot of things that I picked up, things on my hard drive from my childhood.

Yeah.

There were times when I remember a specific day looking and seeing this new rapper that I knew about, but the public didn't quite know about yet.

And his name was Fat Joe.

Mm-hmm.

And he was with a friend who was on the show that day.

And I remember thinking, Ed Sullivan used to have Diana Ross stand up.

So the mass public didn't know who he was, but my audience needs to know.

And that is what I thought my job was.

And I was like, you know, I didn't say it like, over there in section B. I didn't do it that way, but I said, yo, Fat Joe, stand up, take a bow.

And that was from my childhood seeing Ed Sullivan say, Diana Ross, take a bow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a horrible Sullivan, but... I didn't know that was Sullivan.

Yeah, I know.

Ooh, stand up.

Doing a talk show in my basement, the ghetto of Cleveland.

Every day you walk to school, you're going to get your ass whipped.
