What do you think?

And he said, well, it's not only a good idea,
matched
but it's a very timely idea because people are talking about this right now, but they're not doing anything.

So if you listen to the podcast, people are saying, oh, these rappers, these old guys, they don't have any money, they're dusty, that this, that that, and all these kinds of things.

And these are
matched
very, very important guys, but nobody's doing anything.

And so I thought, well, let's do something.
matched
And then the next call I made was to Nas.
matched
And Nas had a great insight because a lot of the concept, our dear friend, all of our friend Quincy Jones had a thing called the Jazz Foundation where he would get money to the old jazz guys.

And I told it to Nas and Nas said, that's not going to work that way in hip hop.
matched

matched

matched
And we started it off with two all-time greats, Scarface and Rakim.
matched
add to that,
matched
Yeah, I have some stories on that of, I don't even know if I can mention the names.
matched
But we had people who literally didn't get the award because they thought it was a scam.
matched
Yeah.
