| You know not too long ago I had an epiphany
|
| That
|
| Musicians from our era
|
| We are like the direct descendants
|
| Of the Rakims and Tribe Called Quests
|
| De La Soul, Kool G Rap, you know, Gang Starr
|
| And, you know
|
| There have been times where I have felt like
|
| Ok there’s a new generation that doesn’t even know that music at all
|
| You know, in face they’re just not really into it
|
| And you know the game has changed
|
| And there’s no value to what I do anymore
|
| There have been times where I’ve thought on that side of the spectrum
|
| But then a light bulb went off that’s actually like
|
| Our generation, we’re actually the holders of a boulder man
|
| Like, like we
|
| I feel like a burning desire to actually keep that torch lit
|
| You know of being like, you know
|
| Maybe it’s not the most commercially viable thing
|
| But you know what
|
| I possess a skill that only a few do
|
| You know what I mean
|
| In a certain capacity
|
| Based on yes, like there’s a lot of cats who can rhyme
|
| You know what I mean
|
| Just like of course there’s a lot of producers out there right
|
| That make dope beats
|
| But I just feel like
|
| There’s just something you know
|
| Our generation, and then for me in particular that I’m able to manifest
|
| A certain lens that I’m looking through
|
| That I feel like whether or not it’s the most commercially viable thing
|
| Could have a positive effect culturally, for the culture of hip-hop
|
| Which I still love
|
| That it’s worth it to me to add on |
