Things Fall Apart

Song

Act Won.. Things Fall Apart




You are all...
We don't even come to see our ownman.
ListenFreddylisten...
If we had to depend upon black people to eat
We would starve to death.
You've been out there
You on the bandstand
You look out thereWhat do you see?
You see Japaneseyou see... you see West Germans
You see Slobovicyou knowanythingexcept our people man.
It makes no senseit incenses me that our own people
Don't realize our own heritageour own culture.
This is our music.
That's bullshit!
Why?
That's all bullshit. Everythingeverything you just said is bullshit.
You're complaining about-
I'm talking about the audience.
That's right.
The people don't come because you grandiose motherfuckers don't play
shit that they like. If you played the shit that they liked
then the people would come.
Simple as that.

Inevitablyhip-hop records are treated as though they are disposable.
They are not maximized as productnot to mention as art.
