Hip-hop Ain't Died Because Of The South, That's Retarded. When I Named The Album Originally, I Thought I Bit Off More Than I Could Chew But You'd Be An Idiot To Think I'm Talking About How The South Killed Hip-hop Or How New York Isn't Where It Should Be Or Where It Once Was. It Was Like, "damn, I Need To Explain This?" But I Thought, "nah, The Proof Is Right There. We Should Know What It Is." I Expect The Hip-hop Audience To Be Avant Garde. I Want Them To Be Where I'm At Or Beyond Where I'm At.
