It's interesting to me that when you play higher-profile shows, the anticipation, the myths, and the legends rarely match up with the realities. But sharing a bill with a true hero is a special kind of glorious. I recently played a set with my man S.words opening for Brother Ali. Ali easily holds a spot in my top 10 favorite MCs of all time, but that night, he delivered quite possibly the best live set I've ever seen. Boombaye.
