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.
