Black Truth News: You bring a positive sprit to the game, which is a blessing. What motivates you to continually give back? Secondly how do you continue to build with the movement?
Cold Hard: For the first question, I keep supporting because I feel like Jesus felt I forgive them for they know not what they do. By them not knowing what they do. I want to enhance them and give them some knowledge; because when we was coming up. Nobody talk to us about nothing you dig. Nobody didn’t even like rap; and I’m talking about from 86 to 96. Nobody in Chicago that I can think of really liked Rap. I used to run into cats like DA Smart, Do or Die and Psycho Drama. I see them on the skirts; talent shows, different contests and competitions and really its only like a two hand cups full of people from Chicago that have been representing from back then to all the way till now.
None of us was game up on how to get our material copyrighted, or get into a studio and get your own stuff. We never got that chance until we did it our self. Nobody ever gave us the know-how. You know you can tell your fellow man something. It’s like you know how to drive and he doesn’t. You can say this switch right here is reverse this here is neutral, this one drive, this first and second gear. You can give somebody a blue print on how to get in. But you know they charge for that and that don’t make no sense. They charge people just to teach them something. And you know I don’t feel like that; I feel like whatever I learned in the game since I been in the game for 19 years, I’m going to tell my fellow emcee, what he need to know about going on to the next step and how to make it in the game. Because I know what to do; even though the world has changed into a computerized state, I still know how to fit in it.
And that’s the answer to that second question; I can still know how to fit in with it, because I got a teenage son, and little teenage cousins that keep me ground zero. Where how the game feel about lyricism right now, and style formation and beat formality, and everything that’s coming with the new hip hop genre right now. So you know; I take what I know and add to the futuristic and still design a bomb that can ignite in any city and can blow up the building. So I stay in that realm.
Where/How can I find/contact this man and his click? I been wanting to play bass for em for the longest!
