 Hip-hop is how we rip off the band-aids, pour saltpeter on the wounds. Hip-hop is Ralph Ellison, who once said, the blues is like running a razor blade along an open sore. If it wasn't for bad English and hip-hop, I wouldn't have no blues at all. See, hip-hop is my black cat moan. Hip-hop is my black cat scan. Hip-hop is I need to stop. It's time for my medicine, time to face the music again. Buddha blessed, Booyah blasted. These are the words that she manifested.
