Tony D @ Fatlace:

Trenton was always very ignorant and thought whatever it did was better than what New York did. They just weren’t having it, and if someone didn’t put on a show they would diss you. I think it was the BDP / Marley Marl clash and they were touring together, with MC Shan. They performed and then Rakim came out and was standing there going, ‘Check out my melody’ and for some reason the Trenton crowd weren’t having it. They started throwing pennies and quarters and batteries from Walkmans at Eric B & Rakim. Rakim had on his Gucci suit and pulled out his knot of money and said, ‘I don’t need your money,’ and they dissed him.

Aesop Rock @ Onion AV Club:

Pick up any rap magazine, and half the magazine is articles about hip-hop, and it’s just about the actual existence of a genre called hip-hop, or what the genre is doing, and it’s like, “Man, just make a record. There wouldn’t be shit to complain about if you just made music.”
