Tuma: If you were reborn as 19 years old now, what would you say to yourself?
position: That's what we've been talking about…using the tools you have at hand. It's no different than his Flash with the tools he used, the tools Run DMC used, it was the same thing for us in the 90s and it's the same thing now.
The problem is, I'm using these tools even if the person behind you doesn't understand why they're using them. Because these are the tools that were given to me. I can sample because at some point when I got into this industry, that's what it was like. Someone may feel like I'm using these CDJs. Because these are tools that I've seen and what I like about them is that I as a person focus on the talent of the person using them. I don't think that can make someone less talented.
I just think about the tools that young children have on hand. They have everything at their fingertips, so they use it. That's the biggest thing, use it. As I said earlier, there are ways to understand information from a business perspective. There is a way to fact-check this. Use this. It's your freedom because the only thing stopping you is you. Be honest about what you have and what is missing, and try to improve it. There may be someone on your team next to you who understands it. Use it all at your disposal, that's how a person becomes successful.
Maceo: When people are passionate about what they're doing, learning what's going on, and being very insightful, they begin to learn how to delegate. Because we know we can't do everything. We still need a team because we want to assert our independence.
Tuma: Amen. You are a source of inspiration. De La Soul is an organization. It's timeless. It doesn't matter if you know exactly what you're going to get, when and where.
position: Tuma, we love what we do and are happy to have Mase. I love always reinterpreting things and learning to perceive things, even when Dave was, wow, we used to see things from this perspective, and now he's an adult man with kids. . You can look at it from that perspective.
Maceo: And it's all intertwined, given how the world has become more open and connected even behind the internet. It's underground, overground, pop culture…it's like one big pot and it's all implemented.
When we were younger, we used to struggle with that. Once it reaches platinum, it is considered sold out. When you get into pop culture or when you're part of the establishment, you're seen as a pimp, and I think our era has been able to overcome that over time. These kids are diving into things that don't even exist. they love everything. From Grammys to hip-hop to trap to EDM, he's like a nation under the groove of everything…I'm not kidding.
