Hired Gun speaks on the Violence in Music at Shoko Festival
When you look at what’s going on in the music or any music you know rock n roll has been as misogynist, as violent, as any music on the planet. If you actually listen to a lot jazz there is those elements in it, the drug culture within jazz. You hear it in music but it doesn’t get demonised in the same way in growing up in the United States, the sense that I always had was because unlike a lot of other music and a lot other forms of cultures, hip hop had a way of activating your, it had a way of making you start to look at the world in a different way.
