"Anyways, if you have heard the song it would be easy to tell that it is not intended at madlib. It is me dissinbg all the little fucks out there who scower the internet and record stores looking for nothing more than loops. Because this is about so much more than that. It's about learning our culture history and linking the only other truly unique american musical creations to our modern one: hip hop. So fuck a loop, because it's so much more than that, and if i need explain more than you shouldn't be concerned with my music to start with. This "loopdigging" attitude also diminishes the ethics of producing and beatdigging, because if all you care about is the loop, then why not sample a repressing? Fuck that. If an OG jazz cat who released a private pressing album back in the day never got his props, the least i can do is hunt it down and therefor raise the price of the record to something collectible. The original musicians 95 percent of the time never get a dime from a reissue and it lowers the value of the original. So fuck loops, fuck reissues and fuck everyone. I'm tired of having to explain myself. In an ideal hip hop world all this would be clear as day anyways and my explanations would be redundant. Such is not the case and beef seems to be the special today. Make it what you want, but i have already straightened this out with the only people who should be concerned about it. So basically, i didn't diss madlib, it's just unfortunate that he chose that as an alais. I was calling out all the bitch ass beatdiggers, whoever they are. And I stand behind that."
