Discussion on Music Awards and Artists

The, uh, awards so far this year, you know, Coolio's copped a couple of 'em

and, uh-

That's good. That's good. Um, I think it's good.

It's a nice diverse show. Um, different tastes.

Um, a nice collage of, of where MTV is.

Um,

we should do it more like six, four times a year because the music change

so

much that we can't really honor the people that did good, you know, that I think.

Not myself included, but, like, there's a lot of good artists,

Everything But The

Girl, a lot of them doing some great stuff

that they didn't, they not even getting

their praise for it, and people that, you know, so I love it.

Yeah, they need to break it down into, into quarters.

Yeah.

A video award show for every quarter, for four quarters.

The fact that Cool-

That way there'd be more-

The fact that Coolio won an R&B, uh, award and a rap award

shows that if y- if you're still thinking about pigeonho-

pigeonholing

musicians-

Right

... you're st- you're, you're way out of it.

Power.

Yeah.

One word comes to mind, power.

It's about good music, now. If you make a good song, you know,

the public gonna

respect it, and they gonna buy it, and they gonna appreciate it.

Oh, yeah.

No matter where you from or who you are.

No doubt. That's real.

Or what you look like.

That's real.

Tupac, show me that fashion accessory you're

holding in your right hand.

That, that is what the well-dressed, uh,

musician wears these days.

Well, today, every, every young Black male needs to be

physically

inclined and military-minded, and this is part of the military mind.

The soldiers are out there. If I, I'm not the same guy

that would come to the

awards, have problem with somebody, and whoop they ass in front of everybody.

So now I got the radio. I see a problem, we quelch it. It's out.

No big fires, just small, little, tiny sparks that can be put

out.

That is-

That shows my growth. It shows, you know, our brainpower.

It shows the organization, and not just Tupac,

but Death Row as a whole.

Exactly.

All right, man. Thank you very much, guys.

Thank you, CNN.
