Ben Horowitz and Erik Torenberg sit down with Nas, Grandmaster Caz, and Steve Stoute for a conversation about the Paid in Full Foundation and its mission to recognize and support the pioneers who built hip-hop.Ben, Nas, and Steve share how the foundation began, why simply giving artists money wasn’t enough, and how the Hip Hop Grandmaster Awards became a way to pair financial support with the recognition many foundational artists never received. Caz brings the perspective of one of those pioneers, reflecting on his role in hip-hop’s earliest history and what receiving the award has meant for his life and legacy.They also discuss the enormous cultural and commercial impact of hip-hop beyond music, from language and fashion to some of the world’s biggest brands, why so many of its pioneers captured so little of that value, and what happens when generations of hip-hop finally come together in the same room.Resources:Learn more about the Paid in Full Foundation:<a href="https://paidinfullfoundation.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://paidinfullfoundation.org</a>Follow Nas on X:<a href="https://x.com/Nas" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://x.com/Nas</a>Follow Grandmaster Caz on IG:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/grandmastercaz07/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/grandmastercaz07/</a>Follow Steve Stoute:<a href="https://linkedin.com/in/stevestoute" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://linkedin.com/in/stevestoute</a>Follow Ben Horowitz on X:<a href="https://x.com/bhorowitz" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://x.com/bhorowitz</a>
