RIO DATA: HMMM... MY MENTOR (whether he know's it or not) WAAJEED (also, my partner that i started my graphic design company with "SkinnyBoysGraphix™) USED TO BE THE MOSSSSTTTTTTTTTTT CRITICAL PERSON ON THIS PLANET THAT WE CALL EARTH aka WORLD aka GLOBE!!! I COULD REMEMBER BEING LIKE 17 AND DOING FLYER DESIGN ON CLIP ART PROGRAMS/ TYPEWRITERS/ILLUSTRATING THEM... I WOULD BE SOOO EXTRA SUPER HYPE AFTER I SPENT ALL KINDS OF DUMB TIMES AT KINKOS PRINTING THESE DUMB ASS BLACK AND WHITE FLYERS... THEN I WOULD SHOW HIM... AND HIS BEGINNING RESPONSE WOULD ALWAYS BE LIKE "MAN... THAT'S KINDA WACK" ... HE DID THAT FOR A FEW YEARS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY STARTED THIS PARTNERSHIP... THEN I REMEMBER I DID A CASSETTE COVER FOR SOMEBODY (CAN'T REMEMBER WHO) AND I SHOW WAAJEED... HIS RESPONSE THIS TIME WAS LIKE "MAN, THAT'S DOPE"... FROM THAT MOMENT... I KNEW THAT I COULD OFFICIALLY DO THIS DESIGN SHIT.BNB: You thank GOD everyday that...
