It Ain't No Joke When You Lose

You Have To Look At The Fact That Hip Hop Is Under Attack. It's Not Just Hip Hop But Black People, Latino People And All People Are Under Attack For Different Things.

You Want To Buy Cars And Houses And Castles, All Of That's On You And How America Has Systematized Your Mind To Be Into Materialism. Hip-hop Ain't Got Nothing To Do With That. I'm Glad That Anybody Making Money Has Picked Themselves Up - I Just Want Them To Give Some Of It Back To The Community.

Don't Get Caught Up On 'i'm Brown, Black, White, Red, Blue, Whatever.' You Gotta Ask, What Were You Called Before 1492? All These Names We're Using Now Are Just An Illusion Made To Keep Us Fighting Each Other.

You Put Music In Categories Because You Need To Define A Sound, But When You Don't Play It On Your So-called Radio Stations That Claim To Be R&b Or Jazz Or Whatever... All Music Is Dance Music. But When People Think Of Dance Music, They Think Of Techno Or Just House. Anything You Can Dance To Is Dance Music. I Don't Care If It's Classical, Funk, Salsa, Reggae, Calypso; It's All Dance Music.

When You Talk About Rap You Have To Understand That Rap Is Part Of The Hip-hop Culture.
