MY BIG COUSIN WHO STARTED ALL THIS SH FOR US!

And the thing that I love about him so much is that hes such a purist.
But hes always operated with so much authenticity and purpose.
Our culture has become this very transactional experience for people.
Sure, hes a great businessman, but hes really driven by art and culture.
And theres not that many stories that are rooted in that anymore.
