Around the World in 8 Minutes

today, sunday
9 hour flight to salt lake city
meeting with Overstock.com.
this week
the week of week's
wyclef jean on THE EDGE
calling me his "homie"
not just "his boy," he said.
there is a difference.
haiti, my hair, shakira and what it means to have a vision
were topics of conversation
me and the arguably one of the biggest names in hip hop
went over our alloted time.
he has 8 minutes his publicist first said
as the 30 year old came in the room.
i was on the couch, chilling
everyone else stood as he was introduced, my crew included
me, i just sat there and asked him what's up
wyclef sat down, he and i joked in a way you do before interviews
and then it began.
8 minutes turned into many more,
his publicist, one of the most powerful people in music
said no problem on time.
wyclef asked me at the end of the interview,
as new york magazine snapped our "candid" photos,
if i had heard of Alexander the Great.
yes i said, but i don't know much.
clef said he conquered the world at your age -
and you're conquering the world -- because of your vision.
afterwards his publicist came up
"your star is burning bright
never change, you'll be a huge success."
incredible in every way.

i'm now staying at the VPs house in salt lake
like family this all is
one step at a time
the empire comes together.
just the way i've always seen it.
