Maybe this one's going over on Dan.
No.
KRS-One came in, and we're from New York.
So KRS-One came in, and he was working at Warner Brothers at the time, and he was, I think, heading up their hip-hop label, and he was having this discussion with my father.
My father comes in, and I walked in, and he's like, Max, Max, come in.
He goes, I'd like you to introduce me to anybody.
who's having this intense conversation with my father, but a good one, turns around and then immediately realizes, oh, this kid knows my music a little bit, and then gives me a few bars from some song, and I was just like, oh my God.
And my dad was like, okay, please, can we continue this?
But so he had experience with artists and that side of what we do and being, but I also think he was very aware of how difficult it was.
And you just, I think you don't want to see, as a parent myself, you don't want to see your children in harm's way or struggle or anything, but it takes a lot of love on, and it did on his part and my mother's part, for them to sort of put that aside and
at least understand that they really didn't have a choice in this.
No, no, there was 10 years of, there was 10, actually it was more than that.
It was about 12 years of really just slamming my head into a wall.
Um,
probably both literally and figuratively.
It was a tough run.
It was a really challenging run.
Right, right.
But I had some wonderful teachers who were able to show me how to do this, showed me who to look at, who did this best, and really started to study what it is I feel like I do now.
And by the way, I was attracted to all the people who are nowhere near doing the things that I ended up doing.
