**Essay Warning**

Allow me to tell you a story about this edit.

For the longest time I've wanted to make a Cowboy Bebop AMV. I had it planned in my head: the perfect edit to "Mighty Crazy" by J.Cole. Had the idea for months. Then, I dug a little deeper & found out that my man Only did a DBZ edit with that track a couple years back (hard as f btw). Then I thought, "Wait, lil nigga. You can't be the only one with this idea." And lo & behold, the GOAT MenaceWithKnowledge made an edit. Same anime. Same track. Uploaded almost SEVEN YEARS ago. (ALSO hard as f)

Lowkey spiteful, I had the idea to edit J.Cole's first rendition of Jay-Z's classic: Dead Presidents. But then I remembered "The Warm Up", & how Cole stated he needed redeem himself on the classic joint. I then went in with the same mindset as Cole.

Finally, out came... this.

Like I've said before, my growth is real. I see all these edits I've done recently & I'm like, "Damn. That's me. All me." And to be honest, it's because of you all. All you dope ass editors out there. All the people that enjoy my work. I'm thankful to have been blessed with this gift & as well to be welcomed by such a dope ass community. Long live Hip-Hop, long live y'all, & long live the #RapAMVCulture.

God bless, &, if you read this in the future, Merry Christmas.
