"Brian was in charge of the interviews, but that day he couldn't really control the environment. It wasn't Brian, but the interviewees were messing up. I explained to them what I needed from them, and Brian pulled me into a room and told me that from what he saw, I didn't need him anymore. He said that I was ready to go out on my own." Wave sites Bullock as his mentor and inspiration to film and direct documentary films.
Wave says that the truth has not been told about the practitioners and brick layers from Hip-Hop's first generation. Concerning his own story, he says that it was a difficult one to tell. "I started breaking down, I'd been holding this shit for 40 years. Too long.
Brian wanted it to be about Mr. Wave, and I wanted it to be about the truth. He wanted to concentrate on my legendary status, and I wanted to concentrate on legacy." This search for the truth is at the root of Wave's You Can't Erase Me Series, which includes films chronicling the lives of DJ Yella of NWA, J.J. Fad, Mr. Cheeks, Dr. Khalid El and B-Boy Alien Ness.
