You are all…
We dont even come to see our own, man.
Listen, Freddy, listen…
If we had to depend upon black people to eat,
We would starve to death.
Youve been out there,
You on the bandstand,
You look out there, What do you see?
You see Japanese, you see… you see West Germans,
You see Slobovic, you know, anything, except our people man.
It makes no sense, it incenses me that our own people
Dont realize our own heritage, our own culture.
This is our music.
Thats bullshit!
Why?
Thats all bullshit. Everything, everything you just said is bullshit.
Youre complaining about-
Im talking about the audience.
Thats right.
The people dont come because you grandiose motherfuckers dont play
Shit that they like. If you played the shit that they liked,
Then the people would come.
Simple as that.
Inevitably, hip-hop records are treated as though they are disposable.
They are not maximized as product, not to mention as art.
