Telegram To Hip Hop by Saul Williams

September 21, 2004

" Dear Hip Hop STOP this shit has gone too far STOP please see that mixer and turntables are returned to Kool Herc STOP the ghettos are dancing off heat STOP the master of ceremonies have forgotten that they were once slaves and have neglected the occasion of this ceremony STOP perhaps we should not have encouraged them to use cordless microphones for they have walked too far from the source and are emitting a lesser frequency STOP please inform all interrested parties that cash nor murder have been added to the list of elements STOP we are discontinuing our line of braggadocio in light of the current trend in realness STOP as an alternative we will be confiscating weed supplies and replacing them with magic mushrooms in hopes of helping niggas see beyond their reality STOP give my regards to Brooklyn STOP "
