"How can you take a song that’s about hope and turn it into hatred? The overall message is “We gonna be alright.†It’s not the message of “I wanna kill people.â€
The problem isn’t me standing on a cop car. His attempt is diluting the real problem, which is the senseless acts of killings of these young boys out here. I think for the most part it’s avoid the reality. Me being on the cop car, that’s a performance piece after these senseless acts.
You can’t dilute the overall message. Yeah we angry about what’s going on, yeah we see what’s going on, but you can’t take away our hope and out privilege that things are going to be OK at the end of the day.
Hip-Hop is not the problem; our reality is the problem. Him addressing the problem saying it’s hip-hop is again avoiding the problem which is what’s going on out here. The oppression of us having guns and drugs in these streets and us being in the mentality where we have to somewhat survive in these hostile situations. The more and more he’ll try to avoid that, the more and more we gonna keep talking about it, and giving our people the game as far as how to control these situations and try to overcome it"
