since they were teenagers and they were always activists. as a matter of fact, when i found out they were rappers i was shocked because they didn't run with they "i wanna be the next tribe" cats back in college. they probably got tired of seeing how every young brother knew the words to biggie songs and figured they could use the music to spread the message. but they always had the message. they even started this group called NPDUM
National Peoples Democratic Uhuru Movement and they were doing demonstrations and community events all the time.

if hip hop ever dies...it will be the day that all of us who fell in love with a new sound that was like nothing we ever heard before and kept being amazed as it grew and changed and morphed stop wanting to be challenged...it will be the day we make a bunch of unbreakable rules and accept it all as hip hop cannon, and the next musical form will have to born of a rebellion against all you reactionaries who wouldn't let it grow and change because your "love" was really obsession and you held on so tight that you choked her. it will be the day that young kids don't want to hear about hip hop anymore because they still listen with their hearts...in reality hip hop won't really be dead anyway, she will just have to undergo another name change like she always has...word to miles and dizzy. - kacy wilson
