And Candy Chang made this delightful collage of me walking through London three years ago. The graffiti behind me says, "Money is being made from Covid but whose pockets are being lined?"

This brings to mind a line from Rakim: "I'm hard to read like graffiti but steady, the science I drop is real heavy." Perhaps a more interesting question is whether Eric B. & Rakim's "Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em" or Eric B. & Rakim's "Follow the Leader" is the best hip-hop performance of all time.
