"they [NWA] were just making a record for the hood selling out the trunk, it wasn't intended for global scale marketing (...) They have to take some accountability but at the end of the day now did once again we go back to the labels now it comes to a point where the labels are paying artists to emulate this, paying the artists in this genre, paying the artist to send these messages out to continue because they did see the effect that it had just like they saw the effect that empowerment of the conscious music had an effect. You saw the people walking around with African Pride black pride medallions, the gear self-worth and value, but then when you had the market for those records and the gangster s***t you saw the results of that as well. 

So yes music does affect people it does contribute to people's behavior and the outcome and it's the same thing we're saying now it has evolved so from that point until now it's no longer just that simple now it's straight Murder music now it's drill music now it's people directly attacking each other through the music and that music being supported by these same labels and record Companies. So there has to be accountability, it's like I say - I started dealing with reality and I stopped lying I stopped lying to myself for one and then with that being said if you're not lying to yourself then you shouldn't be lying to nobody else. 

So if we're all dealing with reality and our conscience and facts then we have to look at it for what it is. They are encouraging us and paying us to be destructive. You know and that's systematic I think that's part of you know a plan of sorts that's part of an agenda. It´s for us to take ourselves out so we don't have to do it. D´you understand? That's real that's real programming is systematic and it has been going on for decades now over 30 years now we've been getting more and more destructive."
