Entertainment & Music - 14 November 2007

Chris Rock: Music kind of sucks. Nobody’s into being a musician. Everybody’s getting their mogul on. You’ve been so infiltrated by this corporate mentality that all the time you’d spend getting great songs together, you’re busy doing nine other things that have nothing to do with art. You know how shitty Stevie Wonder’s songs would have been if he had to run a ******’ clothing company and a cologne line?

RollingStone: Plenty of rappers say, “I’m not a rapper, I’m a businessman.”

Chris Rock: That’s why rap sucks, for the most part. Not all rap, but as an art form it’s just not at its best moment. Sammy the Bull would have made a shitty album. And I don’t really have a desire to hear Warren Buffett’s album - or the new CD by Paul Allen. That’s what everybody’s aspiring to be.

We live in a weird time. No one knows who’s smart - we just know who makes money. “Hey, somebody invented Viagra! We don’t know their name, but we know Pfizer, because they make the money.” That guy made a pill that keeps your dick hard, and nobody knows who the **** he is. The pharmaceutical companies are like ******’ record companies. There’s literally the Bo Diddley of medicine walking around, not getting his royalties. He signed all his ******* pill publishing away.

Does bad grammar in songs bother you?

When I hear a song and the lyrics have a bit of bad grammar, I always want to correct it, like in The Doors' L.A. Woman, Jim Morrison sings
"If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar"
and that always bothered me

Just me or does it bother you too?

Do you love listening to the rain?

I like it because I think it's soothing and beautiful to watch. Sometimes it makes me want to curl up with some tea. It's also nice to walk around in with your boyfriend/girlfriend. What do you think?

What makes you more jealous, good looks or high intelligence?

For me, at first glance without knowing anything about the person, obviously looks. But when I get to know people and I get the sense that I'm not on the same level as her/him intelligence wise, I get really intimidated. I'm not a jealous person. Just demented.

Are there any hip hop songs without rap?

Since you can have rap without there being hip hop (e.g. in a TV commerical, in a Madonna song), can you have hip hop without the rap? And are there any examples of this?
