“You got to earn your stripes.” - Jill Scott talks about her unusual encounter with Aretha Franklin and the lesson she learned from it.
“Aretha Franklin sent me to get her two hot dogs with cooked onions and mustard. And I went. I think I had the number one album in the country at that time. And I went to the corner and I got those hot dogs and I brought them back. And, you know, just wait. I don't think she ate them. - And the lesson she learned from that day: - Well, I would, one, say be nicer to people, but two, you got to earn your stripes. Then I was like, you know, I wanted her to be nicer to me, to embrace me, to tell me that, you know, give me some advice and hold my hand a little bit. But that's not what happened. And now I'm in it. I am that woman to a certain degree. And now I just have a task for you. I want to see what you're going to do. Don't waste it. Don't waste my time. Don't waste your time. It's too valuable. And I like this. This is the auntie portion. She's a little tougher. And I like that part. This is good for me. It's good for you, too, if you want it”.
