Former Public Enemy front man Chuck D released a venomous response to the news that Universal Records would not be replacing ousted president Jay Z with him or anyone else. “Its sort of expected, and a primary reason why the music business has collapsed,” said Chuck D.
Chuck D placed the blame for the demise of Hip Hop squarely on the shoulders of 10-15 “buzzards” who are “trusted” by the clan of execs who really run Hip Hop (Jews and Israelis). In his statement, Chuck D went further calling the inner circle of usual suspects “incestuous.”
The same thing that happened to MOTOWN is DEF JAM’s fate. In my opinion, the fact that 10 -15 individuals in the guise of hovering buzzards are given keys to the culture based on their alliances with these corporations, is a partial reason for the troubled condition it’s in. Hence music, and especially this urban, black, whatever you wanna call it, is an incestuous inner circle of usual suspects that are financially trusted over black culture by a select ‘other few.’ It’s evident that we are not the same people.
Chuck D didn’t name the 10-15 “buzzards” who are eating off the rotting flesh of Hip Hop, so I decided to give it a crack myself:
- JAY Z
- SEAN COONS, SEAN JOHN, PUFF, or whatever the hell he’s calling himself these days
- RUSSELL SIMMONS
- LA REID
- CHRIS LIGHTY
- 50 CENT
- IRV GOTTI
- JIMMY “HENCHMEN” ROSEMOND
- SNOOP DOGG
- KEVIN LILES
- WYCLEF JEAN
- NAS
- PHARREL WILLIAMS
- DRE 3000
- KANYE WEST
