Ben Horowitz and Erik Torenberg with Nas, Steve Stoute, and Grandmaster Caz on the Paid in Full Foundation Caz penned rhymes that became Rapper's Delight. Even with his name in them, he got nothing. The Paid in Full foundation honors the people who created hip-hop by making sure they're "paid in full," financially, spiritually, and culturally. As Nas points out, money alone reads as a handout. So the grant comes attached to the honor. Each year at the foundation's Hip Hop Grandmaster Awards, pioneers are celebrated by the artists they inspired. Caz ultimately received a five-year grant, bought a house, and left the projects. In his words: "The thing is the honor. The thing is putting you in the light that you deserve to be in." Ben says he bought Paid in Full (the album) for $10 and got at least $5 million worth of value out of the record, with no way to pay it back. The vision is paying the debt. Felicia Horowitz runs the foundation. She and Ben are matching donations 2.5 to 1, and every dollar goes to the artists. paidinfullfoundation.org 0:00 Intro 1:40 The $10 album that was worth $5M to Ben 3:10 Nas: in hip-hop, you can't just give money 5:05 Why artists thought it was a scam 9:30 Caz wrote Rapper's Delight and got nothing 11:40 Roxanne Shanté: "I wanted the right award" 16:35 Dr. Dre asks to meet Kool Moe Dee and Slick Rick 18:50 Why the industry never did this 26:05 Ben: start with what's right, not what's possible 29:10 Inside the room: Grand Puba, George Clinton 32:15 The Quincy Jones Award 37:00 Scarface and Rakim talk writing for the first time 38:45 Caz: the grant got me out of the projects 43:45 What hip-hop did for Adidas, Hilfiger and Sprite 48:00 How Felicia saved Scarface's life 52:10 Quincy Jones stories, and Nas's jazz legend dad @Nas @SteveStoute @GrandmasterCaz @bhorowitz @eriktorenberg

"DILLAGENCE 2" got me going back through Busta/Dilla collabs so we gotta talk about how they went 3 for 3 on this album... 🔥🔥🔥 #HipHop

Ja Rule melodic style pre-dates Phonte’ & Drake. I’m not saying he’s first overall but he created his own style & people after him were influenced…In my opinion.

Too much tweeting about artists you don't like 😭

Very interesting to hear Kendrick do the shit Drake be doing on Jhene Aiko album...

Today's rotation. Started the day with all soundtracks... 🔥
