Being Embraced by a Diverse Fanbase

But not many MCs get the love and respect and admiration from

Like the old school heads to the new, um, crowd

Even the fans and even the artists, who both, um, you know

Like pretty much everyone's a Doom fan

How's that-, how's that make you feel?

Wow, that's cool, I ain't never really think about it like that, you know

Good to know that, it's always good to be appreciated by your peers

As well as the fans, you know what I'm sayin'?

The new fans, you know what I mean?

Hard to please everybody, you know what I mean?

The angle? I really look at it like, yo

What I would wanna hear, you know what I mean?

From the first inception of the idea, you know

You know if it sound wack or not, just don't do the wack shit

You know what I'm sayin'? That's how I'm figuring, you know?

I really just do it for myself regardless what anybody think about it

Do it for fun, come from the heart with it

And I think people recognize that, you know what I'm sayin'?

Not to mention just stickin' to certain formulas

Let me stick to certain formulas that you master

After a while, people see the pattern and can kinda like catch on

To where you're going with it, you know what I mean?

Yeah, 'cause, like not too many people can, uh, within a few months

Have a record out with De La Soul and then, uh, you know

A remix with Sage Francis, of course, you know is

Like, the Golden Age to the, the

"Who's popular now, who's popular then", so it's like, you know

I mean, a lot of people are like, get locked in the box

They gotta like this or like that, they can't like both (yup)

And you're on both, so if they're a DOOM fan

They gotta check out both, you know?

Yeah, no doubt, no doubt, yeah, just appreciating things, you know

It's just MCs appreciating MCs, you know what I'm sayin'?

Um, all around the board, we all wordsmiths, you know what I mean?

Really I gotta thank De La for reaching out to me, and like, you know

Recognizing it and being like, "Yo, that cat," you know what I mean?

They didn't have to do that, they, they kind of like

They up there where they could hire a muhfucker

Just to get on some shit that could blow, you know? (Right)

But they still base it on the MC, you know what I'm sayin'? (Yeah)

They know, we know each other from back in the days, kinda

Like, you know what I'm sayin'? We crossed paths a few times, so

It was just cool for them to holler, you know what I'm sayin'?
