Someone told me once that they read an interview with Kurtis
Mantronik
(sorry the reference is so vague) in which he said, basically,
that he had
to do ground breaking shit with the music because MC Tee's
rhymes were so
weak.
Yeah that is a particular case there and Mantronix is no joke---but
mostly, rappers dont need a band or sound.. That is why its called Rapp!
Its almost like poetry, if U will, or story telling-----They are telling
stories from incidents when they Grew up, and how our fucking
neighborhoods are filled with crime, grime, drugs, malice, discontent,
hatred, Nazi-cops Etc!
