To Be The Cream Of The Crop

When You Go To A Movie, You Don't Care For One Oscar, Really. Do You Care If A Guy Got A Oscar On The Shelf Or Is It A Good Movie? And, You Don't Care How Much The Movie Made.

If You Really Think Back To The Culture Or Just Black America Before Rap Music Took Off, New York Could Have Been Paris.

When I Was In N.w.a. And Didn't Get Paid All The Money I Was Owed, That's When The Business Side Of Showbiz Hit Me. I Thought, "half Of This Is Workin'. I'm Famous, But Now I Need To Be Famous With Some Money." That Got My Brain Started At Trying To Figure Out The Business End. And Once I Figured Out The Business Side, I Next Came To Understand That Success Really Comes Down To The Product, Not To Me, My Personality, Or What Club I'm Seen Going Into Or Coming Out Of. None Of That Matters.

We Come From The Days When Rap Used To Agitate The Mainstream. Now It's More Buddy-buddy. That Doesn't Sit Well With Me. So What We Need Is [a Bit More] Street Politics, Bringing Up Issues, Agitating You A Little Bit. And Nothing Can Agitate You More Now Than A Terrorist Threat.

I Definitely Support Cop Acting More Than Cops, But All Of Them Ain't Bad, Just Some Of Them.
