Ahead of His Time

Grand Puba was such a big influence on Me, Don and Kanye (and our crews) when we were in high school. This guy really created the blueprint on how to be the freshest. I mean, he single-handedly blew up Tommy Hilfiger with his "Hilfiger Top Gear" references in his raps. Just check out his album cover and you'll see where some of the ideas for the "Can't Tell Me Nothing" video came from...

Puba was dope, but I was more of a Sadat X guy.

Puba had swag since "Whats the 411"? People always looked at my crazy when I said Kanye was influenced by Puba. Very dope post!
