Every other genre is allowed to talk about fantasy shit, but even the FANS of
Hip Hop put us in a fucking box. One of my favorite songs from '80 by a white
singer the name of Christopher Cross is called "Ride Like The Wind" about some
"fantasy world bullshit". That shit ain't changing nobody's world... just a cool
song to hit the highway to and pretend you're a villain on the run. Why can't
Hip Hop do the same shit? Foh to these niggas acting like we gotta speak
reality in order to be valid.
