the bytch ass nikka then tried to justify his thug about the usage
MUHAMMAD: I was like, "Wow. That's a hell of a way to start an album."
DJ QUIK: Oh, like this over the top — and it's mixed — if you listen to it, it's a cacophony. Cause it's a banjo — first of all, I guess my mental was in question when you listen to the two guys on the beginning of the album debating how to approach me and what to talk about and get some information from me so they can push hip-hop forward. Cause supposedly I'm a giver. I tell all the secrets.
And they come in and I'm talking about what we gotta peddle now is something different. "N----, let's peddle a banjo. Let's make a banjo the new hot instrument." And they's like, "Ah, dude. It's over. This it. Quik's talking about a banjo." And then when the record comes on, it's a funky banjo. Like, off the top. But, again, it's a cacophony because the music that's on there is like — everything's loud. The singing's loud. The rapping is loud. The snare is loud. The kick is loud. It's just, you know — it's a full, loud, crazy "that n----'s crazy" record. In other words, I don't care what people think about me. I know who I am when I lay down on the pillow; I know who I am when I get up. So people can keep their opinions to themselves. And that's what it is.
