To be hip-hop is much more than just rapping in the production. It is more in the attitude.
The Chronic represented everything that I hated about hip-hop as a fan, but then later represented everything that I stood for as a musician and engineer.
Hip-hop is so much about character and caricature that people just see you as a character. Very rarely are you flesh and bone to people.
Hip-hop is such a disposable art form from a business standpoint. It never treats its artists as art; it never treats its product as art.
