I was like, look, matched

we ought to be able to figure this out. matched

It's not, hip hop's not that big. matched

Like the guys who made the art form are not that many. matched

And so why can't we honor them? matched

Like, it just, it didn't make any sense to me. matched

And then by the way, I mean, you guys were very kind saying, you know, I wasn't a beneficiary. matched

I'm a big beneficiary of Kaz and Nas and Rakim in that they were, matched

you all were the inspiration to my career. matched

And one, what got me through like a very, very difficult times in business, so hard that I wrote like a best-selling book about how hard it was. matched

And in the book, you know, I had the rap lyrics, which in Silicon Valley, I actually got a lot of criticism for it. matched

Cause like, what are you doing with hip hop? matched

You know, is that some kind of gimmick and so forth? matched

And I was like, no, this is credit where credit is due. matched

The ideas that I had in business matched

came from those lyrics, and that's why the chapters, that's why the idea started with the lyric, because that's where the idea started. matched

And it was just credit where credit was due. matched

And so it was my, you know, my chance to, in my mind, just do what was right and pay it back. matched

And, you know, look, I'm an entrepreneur. matched

I know how to build things. matched
