And so we go over there and performed, it was great to be there, you know, which we did well, prose and stuff. But when he first came, as a black person from Detroit, and because I had met him before we performed and he sort of like looked at me and us, like, 'You fellas are rappers?' Rap? here?'. He couldn't believe it, you know. And then even when we were interviewed on radio in New York City, WLIB in prose the Apollo (Theatre) in Harlem, and people are just like, 'What?'. You prose know when you meet people over there [in the USA], we say we are from Aotearoa, and they're just like [where????]. Then you say New Zealand and still like [what???]. So for them, I don't know, it just sort of blew them away that we were doing it, and you know we'd be talking about Malcolm X in our lines and stuff like that. So, it's something I had to do, you know. And for me being there, rapping there in New York City where it was all created, sort of made me feel like, 'yeah, I can do this', legitimise it in some sense, which you guys are sort of good at working out here.
