00:00Wale, man, you're no stranger to these events and Grammys and stuff like that.
00:03Like, how does it feel to be...
00:05here and supported after all these years?
00:07Uh, I feel good, man, you know.
00:09I don't really come to a...
00:10a lot of events, though, but, um, it's good to, like, touch grass.
00:13You know what I'm saying?
00:14See these...
00:15beautiful people out here.
00:16We outside.
00:16I mean, have you seen any of the Best New Artist nominees?
00:19Yeah.
00:19Yeah.
00:20Who are you supporting?
00:20I think I might know.
00:21I mean, everybody.
00:22I mean, it's just, you know, the game is in a good...
00:25space, uh, you know who I'm, you know.
00:27Leon Thomas?
00:28I was about to say, okay.
00:29Leon, that's family, though.
00:30Have y'all worked together before?
00:31We got a single out right now.

00:43I mean, and, like, do you ever come...
00:45Come to these events and, like, mingle in that way.
00:47I always ask artists, like, are you making connections?
00:49Are you...
00:50Are you thinking about getting in the studio?
00:51Nah.
00:52I mean, it's been a while.
00:53I really don't come to these shows.
00:55Like, I don't...
00:55I just be chilling.
00:56Like, I come through, have a drink or two, and just, you know, see what's going on.
01:00Yeah.
01:00I don't really have, like, an agenda for real.
01:02I just be kind of just...
01:03I'm in the wind.
01:04And then also...
01:05So I was just thinking about, like, hip-hop right now and everything that's happening in the music industry.
01:08How do you feel about AI?
01:10I think you can, like, do stuff like deliver groceries and stuff.
01:15Like, not for art, though.
01:16I don't think, you know, I don't think we need it.
01:19Like, there's enough.
01:20There's enough artists out, you know what I'm saying?
01:21And there's a new generation of artists after that and after that and after that.
01:25Like, we can't let the computers teach us how to feel.
01:28Well, Wale, now I'm going to get a t-shirt that just says...
01:30Let AI deliver groceries.
01:31That's it.
01:31Stuff like that, man.
01:33The money, the super stuff.
01:33Thank you, man.
01:34It's always good.
01:35Good to see you.
