it's my belief that what really got in the way of the life of these groups in America is the sampling law controversy.

And I've had coffee with Linque (formerly ISIS) of X-Clan, and MC Lyte, and we taked about this when this was going down. (Back in 1991).

Public Enemy is HUGE around the world. In America, people are conditioned to believe that it's over for conscious hip hop.

But seriously, my sig (the we're not done/I KNOW we're not done (M/CHUCKD Interchange))
is allll about this issue.

Look at the Beatles. They were the Beatles and then they became THE BEATLES Beatles, in that Sensing.

REBIRTH HAPPENS.

Conscious hip hop? We haven't started yet. Go get a late pass (Griff).
