"I want to tell people how Hip-Hop influenced me and what the art form really means to me. I pay tribute to all the Hip-Hop heavyweights who had a major impact on me. In today's game where everything is about money, cars, drugs, and women, we have to remember where Hip-Hop originally came from. It’s so much deeper than that!" explained Mr. 44.
