00:00 Let me start off by saying, you know, free Young Thug, prison reform.
00:04 We celebrate 50 years of hip hop.
00:07 And it's amazing to be here today.
00:09 I get to give Shakira the Vanguard Award.
00:12 That's family. And again, I'm always inspired by globalization.
00:18 You know, when we started this hip hop thing, you know, it started from like a
00:22 little fraction. Then we used to like imitate Run-DMC and everything.
00:26 So now hip hop is in every part of the world.
00:30 So it's amazing to be out here doing that.
00:33 I am excited to hear that you guys are going back on tour.
00:36 Fugees, what can we expect with that?
00:38 Well, first, we want to apologize for the people that bought tickets last time.
00:42 The tour didn't happen. It was because of covid.
00:45 Everybody knows if you don't know, all three members will be there.
00:49 If you have been to a Fuji show, you might want to come because, you know, like
00:55 the Fugees are like unicorns.
00:58 It's the last of its kind.
00:59 You won't ever find that again.

01:04 It's a beautiful Louis Vuitton ensemble.
01:07 Yeah, this is like one of a kind.
01:08 You ain't going to find this.
01:09 You know, I wanted to, you know, grown and sexy vibe.
01:12 You feel me? I didn't want to throw a bow tie on.
01:15 So I think like the whole little vibe caught the vibe.
01:18 I think you got it.
