00:11 Do you know what that stood for?
00:13 Jackass music.

00:18 So Chris came to me, and he was like, little bro,
00:20 we really need to start a band.
00:21 Playing behind artists and stuff is cool,
00:23 but don't you think it'd be cool if we played our own?
00:26 I didn't even have a clue how we was going to do this.
00:29 All I knew was I know how to make beats.

01:13 so it can't be that sophisticated.
01:16 They're playing that at a very high level.
01:19 Let's put this black music on one of the highest pedestals
01:21 we can.
