>> going into the hall of fame with obama having his back. what does that mean to you as you reflect on how far hip-hop has come? >> oh, man, it's a beautiful thing, man. i'm so proud of jay-z. you know, and everything that he has been doing. i tell people all the time, you know, this was a dream for all of us, you know, to be able to use our voice and what we learn and experiences of being in the street to just doing what we love to do and making it -- making a statement out of it, you know. so i'm proud to sue one of my brothers, my peers inside the game reach that pinnacle, because, you know, we always felt that we had it in us, but we needed to just find our lane. and i think that, you know, hip-hop itself is -- is that lane for us to really express ourselves and look what's going on. now we have accomplished what we always wanted to.
