Okay, so hold on I wrote something down I wrote this I wrote this but I didn't memorize it so I got to read it off the paper I just wrote this last night so just bear with me. So check it out of all the things that I don't remember about 2002 I have a very clear memory of the first time I met 50 and I think one of the things I noticed when he when he first walked into the room was his presence right because it just kind of felt like he's gonna be a star like just his the way he carried himself swagger everything like I don't know it just seemed like he was the whole package yeah and what's crazy about it to me is his and the charisma and the personality like match everything match the intensity of his music you know and that first album is so classic and the first time I met 50 I was you know so excited to meet him so I was just like I started rapping all his songs to him and I didn't really let him talk you know and I kind of was trying to show him like how into him I was right but I think I might have probably overdid it but at this time 50 was like at this point I considered myself driven right until I met him and I was like yo this guy he was putting out mixed tapes it seemed like every single week there was another mixed tape he was taking other people's beats and he was destroying them right so check it out I just I knew that the dude sitting in front of me sitting across from me was just different right it just seemed like I don't know man something about him just drew you in and I think Dre and me knew that if it was gonna work if it worked on us that it was gonna work on the rest of the world and I'm glad we trusted our instincts so yeah so um so as we're leaving that meeting me and Dre were talking and 50 was walking away and Dre leans over to me he's like yo you think you think that limp is permanent you should ask him and I was like well I gotta ask him and we're glad it was not permanent and I just want to say man I'm here today because this is not only like a business partner to me it's one of the best friends I've ever known in the world and I would say that it's much more fun to be his friend than it is to be his enemy because this guy is fucking relentless and he won't stop and the same way that he's relentless in his battles he's also relentless in his business he's an artist an entrepreneur an actor a director a producer he can juggle he's great at scrabble he pretty much does it all and he's also helped me through a lot of hard times in my own life and he's always been there when I need him so 50 congrats on your star man Hollywood is making official what I knew from the beginning and Dre knew from the beginning thank you
