01:10 He feels like I coulda tied him on his kick joint
01:13 And I made it up to him, yeah, but he's slippery
01:16 I fell back, you know, right now, I don't know, these are, right
01:20 These some ties man, you know what I'm saying
01:23 Comfortable ties

02:14 You know, that classic joint with Pun, you did a while ago
02:17 How was it working with Big Pun?
02:19 It was amazing, it was amazing to work with Big Pun, man
02:22 You know, he always big me up, like in his interviews
02:26 Whenever he had something to say about, you know, whoever his influences are
02:30 He would always be like, "Yo, Black Thorn"
02:32 So, it was a pleasure and an honor to work with him out there
02:36 Are there any artists out there that you haven't played live with that you would like to play live with?
02:43 Um, damn
02:46 I mean, the show is sort of ruining that fantasy
02:50 'Cause everybody come through
02:52 Um, you know, it's
02:57 I mean, you know, I think we pretty much have rocked with everybody in some sort of capacity
03:06 Either the show or just in another field
03:09 I pretty much have played with everybody I've ever dreamed about playing with in this life, so
03:16 Yeah, that's a blessing
03:18 I think I'm to the point where I can kind of say I'm satisfied
03:22 Which I know is a little hard for anybody in hip-hop to be anything but insatiable
03:29 But, um
03:32 You know, if we just had a lifetime guarantee that we could be secure with it
03:36 I can actually say I'm satisfied with, you know
03:39 If we were to turn around and look at all the stuff that we've achieved
03:42 You know, we're very lucky and golden right now
