:07:01
You know it used to be worse
than this, right?

:07:06
Yeah. There was a lot of drugs
in the street.

:07:09
It used to be way...
Come on.

:07:11
- It used to be worse than this.
- Yeah.

:07:14
Right.
That's what it takes.

:07:15
People to keep talking out
and speaking out.

:07:18
You're not that type of rapper.
:07:20
I still not.
:07:21
For two lines
out of a 60-minute tape,

:07:25
for 30 seconds,
I felt like saying something

:07:28
to speak on about
what's going on in the hood.

:07:31
Should I not do that?
:07:33
Should I ignore those feelings?
:07:35
You know how we grew up
in the '80s in this shit.

:07:38
So the shit you talking is real,
:07:40
and I feel like a lot of
the cats who maybe emulate you

:07:45
or the pictures that you present
force that shit.

:07:49
And it feels forced.
:07:51
What about this guy?
:07:52
- Who?
- Him.

:07:53
Him where?
What about me?

:07:56
You rapping on shooting
and killing people.

:07:58
Yes.
:08:00
Say that shit to him.
:08:01
What you think about that?
:08:02
No, that's all right.
:08:04
That's cool?
:08:05
That's what people want to hear.
:08:06
They the one who buy it.
They want to hear it.

:08:09
Truthfully, it's wack.
:08:11
I've been feeling that way, too.
I don't be wanting to do that.

:08:14
It seems like sometimes that's
all the niggas want to hear.

:08:18
You get fed up.
You gotta take the long route.

:08:19
That shit is aggrav ating.
:08:21
Why would you write a rhyme
that you don't want to write?

:08:23
That's what I'm saying.
:08:24
I'm still trying to find myself
to this day, Guru.

:08:26
That shit ain't hard.
Be the fuck you.

:08:28
I know, but I'm saying to
put it out to the people.

:08:31
That shit is aggrav ating.
:08:33
Then be you, man.
:08:35
You see how rappers are now?
:08:37
Turn the camera at me.
:08:39
See what the public...
See what y'all did to rappers?

:08:41
They scared to be theyself.
:08:43
You know what I'm saying?
:08:45
Niggas don't think that people
gonna accept them as theyself.
