Jay Haze interview on RA
well, i don't like jay's music in general, nor do i think he's a nice guy, but i appreciate it when people say what they think. it might be 'not done' or politically incorrect, but eventually both parties get further in this way. i wished there were more people like him in the scene (it's entertaining too

I love the first contexterriors, and the first tunning sporks (where from what i know there was more people working) since a long time ago... I don't really like most the music that came afterwards... not my thing, but he's an excellent artist and a great producer...
My point is that great artists (except from writers of course) should talk with their art and not with their words, because there's not too many listeners that can separate one thing from the other (including myself)... this means that many people that liked jay's music, may not like it anymore by reading something like this... and people who hate on successful labels or artists just because they are successful will like it more, or even discover his music for the first time.
so which kind of listeners do we want? and... do we want our words to make more noise than our music?
I also don't see the point of mentioning that he was homeless or a drug dealer on every single interview... Argentina is tough too, you know? everyday I have starving people who decided not to be criminals ringing my bell asking for food and I try to help them, and I also deal with all this injustice in my brain for the rest of the day... I never think I'm a better person for helping though... I could always do more... and I don't need to talk about that on an interview... when you're a musician, the interviews are about music
It doesn't matter if we were born in a nice house with a nice family or if we were born in the streets when it comes to making music. Our music will have soul if we put soul on it regardless where we come from.
so let's talk with the music... and if we wanna read, there's tons of writers that know how to tell the truth ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS with words. without showing weakness.
