Now nikkaz always reminisce about the old school days in the park
you have to realize hiphop was fukked from the start
When Sugar Hill got major distribution threatned existence
we didn't control our shyt once rap became a music business
Music: the art of expression, combinations of tones
Business: the explotation for profit of an artform
Conflict of interest, two seperate entities
nikkaz pretend to be real but still sleeping with the enemy
and not to diss Rick Rubin but who let the jews in?
Our only solution create our own institution
Manufacturing, marketing, production and distribution cuz Blacks are 99% consumers
[For example]
Now "rapper X" got skills his band "producer of the year"
got a distribution deal with "Real Records"
"Real Records" is a subsidiary of "Ruben Tony Inc."
"Ruben Tony" is owned by "Poly/Sony"
"Poly/Sony" distributes to the record store
the record store receives the product from the manufacturer
[but wait there's more]
Now the manufacturer fukks the record store
who was fukkin' "Poly/Sony" who was fukkin' "Ruben Tony"
"Ruben's" robbin' "Real" who's fukkin' "producer of the year"
and "rapper X" is still broke, so who got fukked the most?
The artist creates the market but receives the least profits
it started in the streets but got fukkED by the office
So that's why I remain anonymous
symbolic of cuttin' out the middle man and keepin' mine autonomous
I'd rather be major on a minor than minor on a major label
I'm willin' and able to put your label on my choppin' table
recycle Black dollars but not go pop and if I flop
at least I stayed true to hip-hop
