Interesting that the bboys have always been reluctant to talk about their epic legacy. Now they are doing interviews plugging a book that is of course all about looking back on their career. The result seems to be some real awkwardness in this interview and the feeling that they don't really care about their career. Just my opinion though

Their humbleness and sense of humour has always been one of my favourite qualities of them.

Some of my favourite quotes from them, and keeping it local to Toronto with Much Music interviews, and I am paraphrasing here:

"We try not to take ourselves too seriously, because if we did then we would be Don Henley, and we don't want to be Don Henley, not even he want's to be"

Interviewer: What do you think people would say about your legacy?
MCA: Yo, they all sucked after Brass Monkey.

Even years before they were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and interviewer asked them what would they want in, and they always played it off like they didn't deserve to be in it.

They take that attitude to the extreme, to the point that they almost seem to be detached from reality. They should learn to take a compliment (but if they haven't by now, it ain't gonna happen).

My thoughts are that they are being more genuine than what they are used to in interviews. The jokey moments are still there, to be sure. My take was that they are a couple of dudes who, when trying to put things into perspective, feel like they did it as well as they could in the book. I believe truly that they don't even understand why people connected on so many levels for such a long time. They're grateful, and humble, and honest.

i also feel like they really don't get why people love them so much or why they've been so profoundly important to so many people. there were two or three moments in this interview where i felt that way

I think they’re totally aware of what they’ve offered and why people like it. They’ve never struck me as the sort to sit and around and think about how great they are or dissect their longevity and popularity, though, and I think they’re genuinely humbled by their success.

they genuinely come off as lucky and grateful. which is refreshing. we obv look at their back catalog and look at them as gods. i don’t think they’ll ever get that. yauch had a suspicion i think.
