“We have such a rich language to play with. Obviously, if you start writing like a politician then give it up, but why does everything normally have to be so spelt out? I get so fucking bored of lazy lyrics: ‘I love you, baby’, poetry and its scarcity in music. There are a million ways to say it. Think harder.”

“Good music is a joyful thing, no matter if it’s slow or what some people call ‘depressing’. If it works, it’s joyful.”

“Hip Hop can be a very powerful weapon to help expand young people’s political and social consciousness. But just as with any weapon, if you don’t know how to use it, if you don’t know where to point it, or what you’re using it for, you can end up shooting yourself in the foot or killing your sisters or brothers. The government recognized immediately that Rap music has enormous revolutionary potential. Certain politicians got on the bandwagon to attack Rappers like Sister Soldier and NWA. You’ve got various police organizations across the country who have openly expressed their hostility towards Rap artists. For them, most Rappers fall in the category of potential criminals, cop killers, or subversives.”

Just found out Selah Sue is playing 3 hours away from where I’ll be in Germany in October motherfuckers! She has to be one of my favourite female artists. I’ll proceed to post her wicked ragga medley after this post.
