The Bronx was burning, gangs was everywhere, drugs was everywhere, death to spare darkness.

Hip-hop took everything and made it better.

We took the beat from the street and we put it on TV.

It's all we knew.

We did the raw form of street hip hop on a commercial global level.

Nobody could put on a show better than us.

We did shows with Park, we did shows with Biggie.

They didn't want to go on stage after us.

The sex drugs and rock and roll life for me became the dominant

theme. Why do I feel this void in me? I wake up one morning my voice is completely gone.

That was the thing that really made me say I want to kill myself.

I'm an alcoholic suicide, a metaphysical, spiritual rep who's about to jump.

It was in rehab where I discovered the most gangster thing anybody could ever do for themselves and that's therapy.

There's nothing weak about admitting that you have a weakness because when you admit you have a weakness,

that's one of the strongest things that you can do for yourself.

If you don't admit how you feel whether good or bad you never heal. They say that the human race is doomed, that we have lost touch with our true nature,

that the media has corrupted us and that the planet has no future.

I disagree. I believe that humanity is full of hope and that our salvation lies within each one of us.

My name is Brian Rose and my job is to listen. The oldest method of learning known to man.

Each week I seek out individuals that are changing the world.

People who are living and thinking in a different way.

Their stories will challenge your beliefs, make you question your choices, and perhaps inspire you to change.
