Meow the Jewels succeeded, in large part, because El-P unwittingly tapped into what you might call the cat-powered consciousness of the Internet. During the last decade, cats have become synonymous with online cuddles and chuckles. In 2006, the website LOLcats.com began turning hundreds of cats in ridiculous situations or compromised poses into memes, with large and mostly misspelled text stripped across the top and the bottom of each photo.

What was the child like -- childhood like in Harlem?70.0474.78CWWell contrary to um76.6282.66CWthe ideas and attitudes of people far far away from Harlem um82.7690.15CWit was a rather bucolic existence. I mean we lived S- um a very very happy go lucky life.90.697.48CWuh We did all the things that you hear in all the so called idealized communities. uh We played,97.71105.45CWwe were taken places, we ate, um we interacted with our parents, we had105.49108.19CWuh chores to do. um108.63116.63CWBoringly normal in one way but V- very reassuring and happy as a child. Mhm.116.28121.1JWbreath Did you have any brothers or sisters that you grew up with that got to represent with this childhood with you?119.02123.05CWI uh got -- in that case I had one brother. My brother and I123.36129.04CWcough were the only children in my -- in my mother and father's family. And we were129.69136.06CWborn rather close together. Ohh he was two years older than I was lipsmack and136.44142.29CWwe went everywhere together and we did everything together so much so that nobody said Raymond142.66149.42CWwithout saying Connie. So they all -- everybody always asked where's Raymond and Connie? Where's Raymond and Connie?149.69157.31CWIt was never one without the other. We were very -- we had a very close relationship. Now and again stormy as brothers and sisters157.34162.07CWwill do but it never lasted very long because um162.45167.95CWwe felt close together. We did a lot of things together maybe. uh168.22175.33CWDoesn't happen nowadays. uh We went on to -- we -- we made up trips to take within the city limits175.33183.13CWand we went on them together so we had to figure out how to go and come. lipsmack We played together. His friends were my friends183.6190.42CWand it was uh a very wonderful warm intimate relationship that we shared growing up.191.11191.66JWum193.65201.55JWlipsmack um What kind of S- like you talk about what -- specifically what kind of things did you do together? Like did you go out to the pool in the summer or?200.53208.3CWWell for one -- yes well now yes -- well for one thing as I can think far back -- the thing we did always208.36215.89CWwas go to my grandmother's house together. And my grandmother lived on a Hundred Thirty Fourth Street and we lived one a Hundred Thirty215.99222.79CWEighth Street. lipsmack And I can know that uh whenever we set out to go to my grandmother's house uh223.01230.38CWmy -- my brother was always forewarned to look out for me and to keep hold of me. That he was told to take230.42236.57CWmy hand but he took my neck instead and we would walk down the street with his hand236.79241.91CWholding me around the neck so that I couldn't move too much to the left or to the right.242.44248.86CWAnd when we got to a Hundred Thirty Fifth Street it was a big wide street. We were like six --248.86256.42CWI was about six and he was about eight and that presented a problem but the solution was to go down into the256.48264.07CWsubway on one side of the street and come up on the other side of the street. And we were on our way down264.14271.1CWto a Hundred Thirty Fourth Street to see my grandmother. breath So that was one of the things we used to do all the time because we liked to go to her house.271.28277.3CWShe let us romp on her couch which my mother didn't let us do and mess it up -- anyway we277.75285.02CWwanted to mess it up. And then we had another -- we had a great grandmother who lived down in what is now called285.25292.01CWChelsea. Was down -- Eighteenth Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenue and292.84299.22CWI don't know how my brother -- he -- my -- my -- my brother always seemed to know much more than I do -- did. He knew how to get down there.299.36305.31CWAnd so my mother would uh review with him how we were going to get from a Hundred Thirty Eighth Street305.31311.3CWdown to eighteenth Street and ninth Avenue and then she would let us go as far as (())312.37319.32CWAnd we would uh we would take the um the L then they called it. In those days on eighth Avenue319.64323.28CWthey had the elevated trains on -- they were on -- breath323.28330.17CWwell +basically the elevated trains were on third Avenue, sixth Avenue, and ninth Avenue but we could get a330.61338.7CWum over on -- it was over on eighth Avenue that we picked it up. And uh we would take it on downtown. You'd have to change339.02346.91CWto the um express at -- but my brother had the situation well in hand and we -- downtown we went.347.09354.79CWAnd Fifty Ninth Street it would take a big wide curve to get to over this to ninth Avenue.355.07359.71CWAnd it was wonderful train ride (()) (()) and I felt very very grown up.360.69364.93JWWhat were your great grandmother and your grandmother like as people?364.31366.49CWW- where did they live?366.15367.89JWlipsmack As people what were they like?367.81374.96CWWhat were they like?

Just in general.668.37675.18CWHang on. I think the biggest thing that stood out in my child is that -- at -- in my mind as a child is when I was taken675.2681.83CWto Niagra Falls because they -- we -- I think we slept overnight on the -- on -- on the train682.2690.3CWon the way and then after we got there we stayed in this big house and the next day we were taken to the falls.691.22695.04CWlipsmack We stayed in Buffalo.
