I Like Collaboration Because, First Of All,

Unfortunately Hip-hop Is So Competitive That In Order For Fringe Groups To Get In, You Gotta Be Better Than Whoever's The Best. So Before Eminem, The Idea That There Would Be A White Rapper That Anybody Would Really Check For Was Fantastic Or Amazing Or Impossible.

Everybody Could Write, Deejay, Rap. Everybody Could Do It All.

To Be Honest, That Whole Exchange With Crunk Feminist Actually Made Me Write The Song Because I Realize There's A Lot Of Young Women Out There So Hurt By The Misogynistic Images In Hip-hop They Paint It With Such A Broad Brush Stroke That They Think Anybody That Defends Hip-hop Is Defending Misogyny.

When You Have A Voice And A Platform And You Know Better, It Becomes Your Moral Obligation To Support That Community. And By Extension, You're Supporting Your Family.

I Gotta Be Dope First. I Gotta Be Appealing To Your Senses, And To What You Like First. Then The Message Happens. Then You Relate To The Message.
