Episode #241: The Influential Power of Hip Hop!
“One summer day, I just said, Man, we should do a book on, like, top 20. So like, I called him on like a Sunday afternoon, he answered and we got to 20 in like two minutes. So then it got to like 50. Then by the end of the night, it got to 75 and then it got to 100. But I had about 10 or 15 people that I wanted to add that I thought that had some influence in rap and hip hop. And so he got to 115 25. And then I said, Okay, I'm just gonna go 135”
