The reason for the design of ages in the
0:02
hip hop is to control how far we can go.
0:05
We need the people young and green so
0:07
they're naive so we can take you to the
0:09
ringer and then by the time when you
0:10
wake up and you're wise enough to
0:11
renegotiate and start asking what's
0:13
this, what's that, they want to get rid
0:15
of you. That's the only reason because
0:17
every other art form when it's not us,
0:19
Johnny Cash can go forever.
0:22
You see what I'm saying? Mick Jagger
0:24
still going. You name Bob Dylan is still
0:26
doing stuff. It is only in our music
0:29
because they want to call our music the
0:30
the hip hop game. This is not a game.
0:32
This is our art and this is our
0:34
business. This came from the have nots.
0:36
This came from everything that they
0:37
wanted to oppress. Now they control it
0:39
and try to tell you what's the truth. So
0:41
we have to stay connected to what's
0:43
true. We don't need them anymore. Even
0:45
when I signed back then, the labels were
0:47
becoming a a Titanic. It was already
0:49
shifting. That's why they came up with
0:51
Spotify. Shout out to Spotify but I
0:53
Spotify. And that system is not correct
0:56
and we have to keep calling these things
0:58
out. That's why we're doing it direct to
1:00
consumer. That's why it's only on our
1:01
websites for Re-vindicated or mine
1:03
www.thebishoplamaoproject.com.
1:06
It's so important that we have ownership
1:08
and we keep the identity and we keep the
1:10
connection and the information of this
1:11
because remember how hip hop started?
1:13
You had to be down. You had to be down
1:15
with a DJ or MC or a B-boy. Somebody had
1:18
to bring you around or [ __ ] was going
1:20
to be on your head. Like who's this
1:21
[ __ ] You had to pay your dues to be
1:23
in. Now just cuz you get on the
1:24
internet, you're a part of hip hop. No
1:26
[ __ ] you had to pay your dues. You
1:28
had to come in these ciphers and get
1:30
lumped up. You had to come around and
1:31
really prove that you could be down. Now
1:33
anybody can have participation and
1:35
everybody represents where from the
1:37
internet. I can't even tell where
1:38
[ __ ] is from. They're from the
1:39
internet. But where are you from really
1:41
in your region or your location in your
1:43
community? So my thing is concentrating
1:45
on that and not what they want in them
1:47
in them in them boardrooms because we
1:49
keep forgetting what hip hop was built
1:51
for and why we do this.
