ny oil interview/ discussed before?

[mono]

so whats up with that issue? the all get lynched track, to tell you the truth, i like everything about it, simple production, classic strong material, getting to smart break and some chords+a serious attitude.
it makes sense what he says in the interview and i think black community would do good to encourage and export people like ny oil. i would appreciate some sort of a native tongue resurrection, let it be for the positive impression it would make on international hiphop alone (apart from my sympathy for afroamerican emancipation).
that guy is fire, props

p.s.:kind of ironic, to find such an artist, while others post polls whether hiphop is dead or not, makes me think

Mik, thanks for posting this wonderful interview! :thumb:
Hip-Hop ain't dead!!! Saying Hip-Hop's dead is utterly wrong. Hip-Hop is simply going through a delicate metamorphose.

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

Good Day,
Wings

Yeah Davey D is a legend I have aimed him and spoke to him before, it was good to hear this song and the artist but in my own opinion he is reaching back and calling on the old groups and activists to come back when really they should already be here in new forms and artists but they really aren't anywhere to be found in that respect hip hop may not be dead but on life support.

I think a lot of artists especially underground think like this but overall his voice is a grain of sand in the ocean when it comes to what you see what is being propagated thru the media, the net and other various money making machines that pimp hip hop and the people behind it socially either have no connection or know nothing of what hip hop is and it shouldn't matter about what a coon is to a black american or what a lynching is to us, the fact kills me that they are either constantly commenting on what hip hop is or should be and never seen or struggled in the respect of standing up against racism or social wrongs in America which should be a big component beyond the music.

IMO To bring hip hop back in full force with the activism component (which is a HUGE part) there has to be something so upsetting as a wake up call, something so revolutionary that brings this message of continuing struggle to the forefront, much of the shock value of the racial incidents of what happened in the 80's and 90's looking back to the roots of racism and revisiting the 60's, racial inequality and slavery....all things that really have been pushed back and swept under the rug and everyone thinks hip hop is about the music and what they see on TV ....imagine if the whole Kramer contraversy happening in the early 90's with Rodney King, Va Beach, NWA, Public Enemy etc...how there would have probably been massive protests...

IMO What has happened is the minds have been numbed to seeing and hearing things like this and almost become accepted in the society today, I feel like this cat is hot but he is using nigga this and nigga that all over the place so to me it kind of eats at his credibility even though you know the full message of what he is conveying but, really NY Oil is no Chuck D or Bambaata, no doubt he is a great lyracist with an old message but up against so many who don't care about it or aren't willing to put what he is saying into their art.

"brother home from college, yo this n**** aint shit,
n**** home from jail, yall be over his dick"
just refreshing to hear somebody being inconvenient. people will call him a hater, but hes self confident with backbone, to advanced to be giving a shit about it. i want to hear more like that.
you know whats funny, hes talking about not having spend a single dollar for production or distribution. but has far more hype than lots of cats wth contracts.
