‘How do we crown our kings? How do we appreciate our kings? To think how far we could just make it off of inspiration,’ West began.<\/p>\n

‘To hear the way somebody chopped a sample in. We are rushing in to see who could get the bad boy mixed tape and play back the original version of Benjamin’s over an end over,’ he added.<\/p>\n

‘Me sitting at M crib. To puff without knowing. That statement is not legally binding,’ West said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

‘To go to New York and think that because I saw the videos, everybody had on Leath jackets.\u00a0To see Puff in real life. Just like me tapping free as a little kid. I just need to meet this man. This is my favorite artist. You see what I’m saying?’ he added.<\/p>\n

‘\u00a0You know back then it was so many rules to hip hop. He broke all of them. Broke down all the doors. Understood contracts in a way a lot of us still don’t. Understood money in a way a lot of us still don’t. I go to him for advice to this day. He inspired so many of my choices. So many of my life choices. My wife choices. And here we are. Thanks for that, Puff,’ he joked.<\/p>\n

‘You understand getting snuck into the club at 17 years old. In Chicago. Thinking we was part of Bad Boy.\u00a0This man was so famous, it was just good enough for me to be Chicago’s version of puff. You know, I took a little hiatus. I said I wanted to declare myself legally dead for a year. Nobody messing me. You know, I just want to be off the grid. Puff is pretty persistent. But I had to think. It’s like people, they get amnesia. Like I should never have to call more than one time,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘Any of us in this room, if Puff ever needed us, we need to jump and be there. This man has been through and survived a lot of stuff. Broke down a lot of doors so we could be standing. I know for me, that I could be here today. He broke down so many doors of classism, taste, culture, swag. Puff, if I never told you I love you, you’re my brother,’ he concluded.<\/p>\n
