Candy ass beat and blink blink look at ma crib!
Wu Tang Klan selling nail varnish!
Public Enemy charging 35 euros at the door!
Remember the time when we were kid, paid 5 euros for PE with the kids throwing demo tapes on stage, and PE telling us that those tapes were the future of HH.
WTF happened?

The post that was quoted here has been removedWhere do I start.
Anything on Revolutionnary Volume2 for me is a classic.
The guy did his own label Viper records to have no string attached, won almost every battle in NY for the last 10 years.
Personnaly I wake up every morning with this full volume:

I guess I was more talking about the good ol' days when the kids had a turning table and were spitting their guts for the sake of it. I think IT belongs to that race.
He wrote a lot of lyrics about that, but can't copy them here: lot of bad words 😀

If you see the likes of Prefuse, RJD2 and Krush it's all about the turntables. There's no interesting DJing going on with IT and that's what I like the most...

Nop no Dj, no showlight, no video. Thats the price of freedom I am afraid. Everything you can find on youtube will be vids made by kids.
Like he wrote in "obnoxious": burn it off the internet, and bump it outside.
"F** a record deal, I want development land
With my benevolent clan
And that's the reason that I only trust my fam
40,000 records sold, 400 grand
F*** a middle man, I won't pay anyone else
I'll bootleg it and sell it to the streets my self
I'd rather be that than signed and stuck on a shelf"
"I say what I want, you f*** little sensitive herb
This is America, I thought we had freedom of speech
But now you want try to control the way that I speak
And O'Reilly you think that you a patriot?
You ain't nothing but a motherf*** racist b***
Fulla hatred, pressin a button trying to inject me
But I ain't got no motherf*** deal with Pepsi
No corporate sponsor telling me what to do
Asking me to tone it down during the interview
Tryin' to minimize the issue, but I'm keeping it large
I love the place that I live, but I hate the people in charge
Speakin is hard when you got strings attached"
"And to all these b*** 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 n***. There is a market for twisted shi-tfetish 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 n*** executives
and them rich motherf*** that own you; you the motherf*** machine man! You and all these n*** talking about the same shi-t
with 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, f*** it
But then again; you don't own me, and none of you n*** ever will
If I'm feeling what you fight for I'm rolling with you to the end
But if not, then f*** you!
And the more that mc's, producers, dj's
and independent labels start to grasp the conceptuality
of what their contribution to the business of hiphop is
rather then just the music - the more the industry will be forced to change"
