Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
"To Pimp a Butterfly, my favorite album of all time. The subject matter, obviously the way the music is layered and put together, I love coming back to something and finding something that I didn't find the first time, and this album is kind of like a treasure trove for that."Watch this moment
"the Great Adventures of Slick Rick was one of my first experiences really appreciating the storytelling side of hip-hop, which was a huge thing for me getting into the genre in the first place."Watch this moment
"Man on the Moon 2 by Kid Cudi is a pretty seminal album through my adolescence. It kind of feels like an unconscious or subconscious precursor to the type of music that I make a lot of the time. It's kind of hard to define, obviously delving into Cudi's mental struggles, which at that time, especially in the hip-hop space, wasn't like a huge thing that people spoke about."Watch this moment
