We grew dreads and started wearing white V necks with the chain that connects to the jean wallet because of Wayne

People where I’m from started being Fake Bloods because of him

I just never seen JayZ control the world like Wayne did back than.

His hottest years to me was 2004 when he drop go DJ and drop on that Destiny’s Child song β€œ I need a Solider” song

2004 to 2013 was his best years to me so he had almost a good 10 year run.
