"Hiphop är som lösviktgodis, man plockar sina favoriter "

Om vad musik betyder för en, ja du phonte kunde inte ha förklarat det bättre:


"HipHopDX: There was recently a Summer Jam performance that you and other people wrote about, where the audience just stood still...What did you take away from that?

Phonte: What I took away from it was that basically, people who religiously listen to the radio don't want much out of music. It's not to say that their taste in music is necessarily better than mine or whatever. I just think they don't want much. The people like us, the music nerds, the people who are into music, we're the cats that are looking online for new shit and spending money on crazy records and shit because we're just into music. Music is the love of our life so we're constantly looking for new shit and searching deeper for it. To the average person, they don't care. Music for them is just a means of entertainment or a means of partying, dancing or whatever. Whenever you're a group like Little Brother or Rhymefestor...hell, anybody that tries to use music as more than just a form of just dancing and tries to use it as a means of provocation or stimulation of thought of any kind, then it's always going to be an uphill battle in today's market. So, I just looked at it for what it is and I know next time. I know what I'm up against."
