And you are all But we don't even come to see our own, man (take it from us) Listen, Freddy, listen (I shall, whoa) You know if we had to depend upon black people to eat We would starve to death (everybody wake up, it seemed easy) I mean, you've been out there, you on the bandstand You look out there, what do you see? (There is no pretenders) You see Japanese, you see, you see West Germans You see, you know, Slobovic, anything but (go ahead with yourself) 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 (then distort up in your face like) 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 even, you know, not to mention as art
