Hip-hop Is A Vehicle.

I Don’t Think That Early Hip Hop Stood Out To Be A Social Critique. A Lot Of Fans Of Mine Think That Hip Hop’s Ultimate Responsibility Is To Critique Social Structures.

Music Is Not An Exact Science So Depending On The Time And The Mode And The Energy When We Do It That Will Determine What Happens With It.

I See That Happening With Hip Hop Purists Now. Where You Have An Artist Like A Kendrick [lamar] Or A Drake, Who Are Really Trying Different Things Emotionally, Different Things Musically, And On A Mainstream Level. And You Have Underground Hip Hop Fans Dissing It, For The Simple Fact That It's Mainstream - Not Because What They're Doing Is Whack, Or What They're Doing Is Not Sincere.

I Think Hip Hop Is A Dance Music That's Rebellious By Nature.

When I Was A Teenager, The Way Some Of These Kids Out Here Be Actively Gay, It Would Have Been Ridiculed In The Hood. And Now The Hood Is A Bit More Accepting. Begrudgingly Accepting, But Definitely More Accepting Than 20 Years Ago When I Was A Little Kid. That Doesn't Mean That Anybody Should Stop Fighting For Equality Just Because People Are Begrudgingly A Little More Accepting.
