Sidney, Narrating:
The union of hip-hop
:35:11
to the mainstream was
a hard thing to imagine.
:35:17
Hip-hop was always this
personal, regional thing
:35:20
that belonged to just me.
:35:22
Starting with Fab 5 Freddie
and Yo.! MTVRaps.!
:35:25
Anyone with a television set
and cable box
:35:27
could get a piece
of hip-hop.
:35:29
I knew I was
gonna have to share,
:35:31
and that was hard
to get used to.

# One shot to your heart
without breaking your skin #
:35:38
# No one has the power #
:35:40
#To hurt you
like your kin #
:35:43
# Kept it inside,
didn't tell no one else #
:35:48
# Didn't even wanna
admit it to yourself #
:35:53
#And now it just burns
and your back aches #
:35:59
# From 15 years
of holding the pain #
:36:03
#And now you only have
yourself to blame #
:36:08
# If you continue
to live this way #
:36:14
# Get it together #
:36:18
# Get it together #
:36:22
Yeah, not next Wednesday,
but the Wednesday after.
:36:25
Ok, looking forward to it.
:36:27
Hot 97 called again.
:36:28
They still want you
to come in for an interview.
:36:31
Tell 'em I can't
do it right now.
:36:32
I got too much
on my plate.
:36:33
And we just got
the release dates
:36:35
for Kelby Dawson's album.
:36:37
It works with
our next issue.
:36:38
Great, when can we
get an interview?
:36:41
Tomorrow night.
:36:42
The Nets are playing
the Knicks on Wednesday,
:36:44
so if you're free...
:36:45
Mm-mmm.
Get Rashad to do it.
:36:47
Well, here's the thing.
:36:50
According to his agent,
:36:51
he specifically
asked for you.
