"how did yall forget about graffiti? we were born out of eachother. two elements that are so deeply intertwined historically that the detatchment these days seems to be proof of a general lapse of memory. and the detatchment has nothing to do with whether or not people or even you are still gettin up. they are. you are maybe. the detatchment has to do with the fact that people have considered me or other rappers like me to be "mysterious" or "weird" because of the fact that we dont have press shots, videos, indepth personal biographies, national tours, desire to be personally famous, managers, promoters, teams, ect. you forgot about the concept of taking a name, throwing it on a wall and walking away and letting that piece speak entirely for itself. this tigerbeat "blah blah is my favorite color and my favorite dinner to eat on a date is blah blah" out in broad daylight, snitch tabloid, sunshining tropical island of culture that we've degraded into is the evidence of it. its so farfetched, so insane these days that a rapper wouldnt want to completely step out centerstage under bright sweaty lights and beg for the full credit of a creation with a government name scrawled on a dotted line, while at the same time ironically meanmug posing for a paid photographer in front of a brick wall covered with the faded aliases of anonymous individuals that still actually represent what this is actually all about. make your money. do what you do. dont be confused when other rappers are just satisfied getting their name up tho." - Lil Ugly Mane
