You seem to be spending a lot of time trying to figure out why Kid606 / V/Vm
did what they did with this release. Frankly what they were thinking is less
important than how we interpret what they said/did. They made an ambiguous
statement with this record. It must be ambiguous, or we wouldn't be
discussing it. Therefore it is open to interpretation. The mere fact that it
could be interpreted as a political statement confirms its status as one.
Hip hop is so profoundly wrapped up in black culture that for a white person
just to be listening to it (let alone making it, or remixing it) makes a
statement about the relationship between white/black cultures. This is also
a political statement. Culture is politics.
And me commenting on this fact also has political implications.
And so does me commenting on that fact.

And that one! ;)
