I’ve heard this phrase before it’s just worded differently. It’s, like, Black America versus America almost. Its always gonna be there, why?? Because they can’t control hip-hop. If they could control it, it wouldn’t be a problem. You can’t control it because we dictate what it’s going to be. They took Pop music from us, they took Rock and Roll music from us. They try to take R&B music from us. You can’t take hip-hop! Because hip-hop comes from the ghetto; it comes from the hood. It comes from the kids, it comes from that form, so you can’t take that if you’re not living in it. You can take Pop music, R&B music. You can take the writers and as long as they can sing, you good. But with that shit coming from what it is, they can’t control it. It’s gonna always be versus America. In a minute, it’s gonna be versus the world because it’s the biggest music on the planet. And until they stop trying to fight it and they acknowledge it and listen to some of the shit we’re saying, you know, they want to ban gangster rap, but it’s like, ‘yo, if you stop half the shit that’s going on in the hood, gangster rap probably wouldn’t exist because if you clean it up, then maybe they stop rappin about it. Try that, you done tried everything else, try going into the neighborhood and helping. Try, if a brother’s getting shot, try taking the guns off the street. If you want people to stop, stop selling bullets on the corner. If you want to clean up the drugs, stop letting the man in at the coastline. Its like you cutting the grass off up the top saying you don’t want it to grow, instead of grabbing it from the roots and its unheard of.
Hip-hop is a voice and it’s going to forever be heard and I do think we go too far sometimes, which is the world. The world is being influenced by capital and money. And that’s whats running this country. This whole country was built on that. This whole country was built on capital, and money, and thievery, and took this land. We killed to have this land. We didn’t ask. We didn’t even know what language to ask in. How could you ask when you don’t even know what language. You don’t even know how to ask. When they hit the rock, Plymouth rock or whatever the f**k, how you gonna talk to a native American when you don’t even know what the f**k they speaking? You don’t need to talk. You got guns, you got gun powder and cannons. They over here on horses with arrows. Of course, everybody else is gonna be like ‘hey, whatever you want.’ But that’s this whole country, and people are crazy to think its going to run any other way when yore foundation is shaky. Your foundation is built on lies, thievery, stealing, and murder. In order for somebody to be rich a crime has to take place somewhere down the line. That what divides. The only way a person casn get ahead is to step somebody down. Evolve and evolve and evolve. Now, hip-hop is making money, we’re making strides, we’re the biggest music on the planet, and we’re also the largest black employers on the planet, so its allowing more brother and sisters to do other positive things, and send my kids to some of the best schools in the country. And to solidify trust funds, leave trust funds, have health care. It’s a beautiful thing, and I’m happy to be a part of it.
