through when you're up there that is for sure can you tell us a little bit about when slide dunbar introduced you to that exemption and next thing you know we have what really became a magic for that time period that you were with  well actually it was in sly actually introduced me to ducky you know i used to do like circuit on and not cause it to me and a member was smoking marijuana and you know they wanted me to as when you were black who would tell us the difference there or is it one for you well like when you're in a group you know it's like sometimes you know things run s couldn't
