You are all... | |
We don't 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. | |
You've 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 | |
Don't realize our own heritage, our own culture. | |
This is our music. | |
That's bullshit! | |
Why? | |
That's all bullshit. Everything, everything you just said is bullshit. | |
You're complaining about- | |
I'm talking about the audience. | |
That's right. | |
The people don't come because you grandiose motherfuckers don't 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. | |
First section is a scene from "Mo'Better Blues" by Spike Lee. | |
Second section is an unknown comment. |
