Before we go any further.. |
|
I would like to send a message to all the underground mc's out there, working hard |
|
The time has come to realize you networked in a marketand stop being a fucking commodity |
|
And if you didn't understand what |
|
I've just said then you already waiting to get fucked |
|
For example; a lot of these promoters are doing showcasesthrowing events, and not even paying the workhorses |
|
They trying get us to rock for the love of hiphop or rock for the exposure |
|
Now look man, |
|
I don't mind doing a guest spot for my peeps |
|
Or, or, or doing a benefit show, but don't lie to me pussy |
|
Coz I find out |
|
I'm paying your lightbill, |
|
I'm fucking you up nigga |
|
Besides, you ain't doing this for the love, you ain't doing it for the exposureyou charging up to 10$ at the door, and you ain't tryin to give me shit?? |
|
So wait a minute... you want me to go shopping, cook the food, and put it in front of youbut you won't let me sit down and eat with you? |
|
The fuck is that? |
|
Niggaz need to start playing their position, man. |
|
Just coz you throw a partya hosting event or an open mic or a showcase, or a battlethat don't make you important at all |
|
Without me and everybody like me out thereyou ain't nutting but a good idea, motherfucker |
|
So stay in your place |
|
And to all these bitchass saronayas who are too lazy to come up with a way to sell records.. |
|
That they keep recycling marketing schemes and imagery |
|
C'mon..There is a market for everything man |
|
There is a market for pet psychologists nigga. |
|
There is a market for twistedshitfetish video's. |
|
For nipplerings, for riverdancing, for chocolate cupboard roaches.. |
|
But you can't find one for cultured hardcore reality and hiphop? |
|
People like you: the house nigga executivesand them rich motherfuckers that own you; you the motherfucking machine man! |
|
You and all these niggaz talking about the same shitwith the same flow over the same candy-ass beats |
|
But I refuse the feed the machine |
|
And Im not giving any magazine money |
|
So maybe my album won't get 5 mics, or double-x-l's, or 5 discs |
|
Whatever man, fuck it |
|
But then again; you don't own me, and none of you niggaz ever will |
|
If I'm feeling what you fight for |
|
I'm rolling with you to the end |
|
But if not, then |
|
FUCK YOU!And the more that mc's, producers, dj'sand independent labels start to grasp the conceptualityof what their contribution to the business of hiphop israther then just the music - the more the industry will be forced to change |
|
Oh, heh, and one last thing; |
|
You don't have to agree with everything |
|
I've saidBut don't ever be condescending to me |
|
Picking up your wack ass friends that rhyme and being like' |
|
Ow yeah, Immortal |
|
Technique - he's aaiight' |
|
No nigga.. |
|
Your mom is pussy, that's aaiight, ok.. |
|
Your peoples getting shot dead in the street, that's aaiight |
|
I'm the motherfucking |
|
Immortal Technique nigga! |
|
The message and the money! |
|
And you ain't got either! |
|
Remember that! |
|
Punk ass motherfucker.. |
