00:00Countdown to the 20th anniversary of the Essence Festival July 4th weekend in New Orleans, number 15.
00:07One time, Beyoncé was performing, and I happened to be backstage.
00:14I might get in trouble for this.
00:16I happened to be backstage, and Beyoncé's dad came up to me because Beyoncé needed to go somewhere.
00:25This, obviously, this is way back in the day.
00:27I remember Beyoncé's dad kind of came up to me.
00:30He was like, yo, man, you know, we're really trying to get out of here because we know, like, you're supposed to go on after us.
00:36That just gives you an idea of how long ago this was, Eric Benet was going after.
00:41So, can the girls go on first, man?
00:46And then, you know, we really got this other thing we got to get to.
00:48And I was like, cool, sure, sure, man, that's cool, that's cool.
00:50He's like, look, Beyoncé's, she's probably going to do a solo record.
00:55I'll let you get a song on that record.
00:57That didn't happen.
00:59I'm still hitting you up for that dang Beyoncé song.
01:02Buy your tickets, then come back tomorrow as we continue to countdown to the 2014 Essence Festival Live in New Orleans July 4th weekend.
