The Southern explained her momentary dilemma, “The messed up thing was that I didn’t know who to speak to first. Like me and Premier are close, but I’m Dre’s house and I didn’t want to be disrespectful. So Premo started joking with me first and I went and hugged him and then introduced myself to Dre.”

“I had my camera guy with me and I didn’t want to come with the camera on in his house, ” she explained. “I just wanted to ask first, but before I could ask, he looked at me and asked was the camera on. Then Dre was like come here and that’s when he did the shout out.

Between working on “parts for the Beats show” and cultivating a new “Lauryn Hill joint” Rapsody was challenged to spit for the supreme sonic engineer. She then explained that surreal situation, “”Dre was like he had time for anyone to do a drop or spit a rhyme. When he said rhyme, everyone in the room pointed at me. I was like yup, OK. You have a moment, I’m about to rhyme in front of Dr. Dre during the first time meeting him.”

The prepared narrator was ready. ” You snap out of it because when you practice for the moment, it’s like practicing free-throws a hundred times a day. When it gets to game time, you’ve done it so much to where it’s nothing. That’s what it is. Dre is cool, laid back and humble. He didn’t make me feel nervous about it,” she said.

“He has the same qualities I’ve seen in 9th working with him all these years, referenced Hip-Hop’s student, “He’s a teacher first and just gives you game and advice. That’s what I loved about the whole experience.”
