Can't believe this has No Posts. Here are some highlights.
"Graff writers have been filtered out of the scene. B-boys are told their form of dancing is played out and it seems the only elements we got left is MCing and DJing, and we see where those two remaining aspects of the culture seem to be headed".
"Many of us have tried to speak out on all the bullshit we see being forced upon us by an industry that’s raping the shit out of a culture we’ve seen grow from infancy. As a result of speaking out, we’re called “haters.” We’re asked “why you mad?”
Having an opinion that isn’t the status quo was never hating. That’s just thinking for yourself. Being frustrated with an industry telling us we should rock with a dude telling us he’s a millionaire and watching him flaunt his money in our face, while Mom duke’s is struggling to make ends meat ain’t being “mad”. That’s just feeling frustrated. But “the powers that be” behind the bullshit taking place in Hip Hop got folks thinking they better conform or fall by the waist side. Thus, what happens? Most people either keep quite or they follow trends, even when it ain’t good for them."
"A couple of months ago, I experienced some disheartening shit. I stood up for my art and I was put on blast by some folks I didn’t expect it from. For a second it made me think damn, maybe I should get on some Nation of Islam shit and assimilate into the 10%. You know, that percentage of the world that knows what the fuck is goin’ on but won’t say shit to the other 85%. But then I’ll read a post from Big Ghost Fase Chronicles and realize I owe it to myself and the culture I’ve given every ounce of my being to, to speak up when I see something wrong. if it means making those around me disappear then fuck it. So be it. I rather roll with dudes that truly believe in what I’m trying to do and support it, than mutha fuckas who creep around you for the sole purpose of leeching off your hard work. I think when I do speak, I just gotta be clever about it. Like you. A sick baby will never take oral medicine willingly. They’ll spit that shit right out as soon as they taste it. You gotta be smart about shit like that so you slip it into their food and shit. That’s what you do Fase. When you look past all the funny shit you being saying, there’s some powerful ass medicine hidden in the crevices of all the food for thought you be droppin’ on us."
