the the they got good with the cd after a while it didn't skip but you had to set it on you had to set it on the treadmill and you had to hit that like shock mode and then that would eat your battery so quickly though like you'd get three songs in and be like all right you have to go to the gym with like spare batteries still to me it was so insane that i could carry music with me to the gym like that's incredible because you go to the gym and it'd be like the worst poison song playing no disrespect to poison

Or something.

Like, God, I can't get into this.

I'm trying to get pumped here, man.

This is fucking bullshit music.

Like, someone's in charge of the station that they pick on the radio.

Just to be able to carry it.

But that moment of hearing that music...

I was like, this is celebrating crime and murder?

Like, this is nuts.

And murdering prostitutes and, like, this is crazy that this is, like, a major record label put this out.

And I was only 21.

And I was, you know, I was just sitting there going, I can't even believe this is real.

And then I got really into it.

Like, I got really into Ice Cube, really into Ice-T.

I'd listen to that when I was delivering newspapers.

It was like gangster rap was like a completely different thing.

So then cut to when people start digging into it.

Like intelligence agencies have had – there's a weird book on intelligence agencies and their role in rock and roll music in the 1960s.

The movie about – the book about Laurel Canyon.
