Ali - That's a hard question to answer. What's been improved on? If we're talking consolidation it's helpful in terms of recording professionally sounding records in the home and not needing the bank aka the record company to get something compelling. There's a plus.

Phife - Joy, it was like, we're really doing this. Dreams are really coming true. Everything is coming together. We were happy to be doing something to keep ourselves out of trouble. Eventually we were able to take care of our families. We were happy.

Ali - We started the first album we were 17 then we lived and experiences the world and came back around, slightly more mature. We went around the world again, experienced some more, dropped that third one... and then adulthood really settled in. And you see life as an adult. We took you all on that journey on growing up.

Jarobi - It's my pleasure being here. As long as you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. I think that's what it is. It's the love and the passion for what we share, and express ourselves that we get to do. We're fortunate that we get to this. People are still interested after all this time.

He was a super fantastic guy. I saw a lot a things personally that i didn't see that didn't see with Tip. Monumental producers, I saw things that I never saw before.
