Troy L Smith recently interviewed Queens legend Sweety G. Link
Troy: Alright so let me ask you this, other than Mike and Dave who said that, who else said that? What other promoter that you can remember exactly?
Sweety G: I don’t know if it was any promoter but I know it was the MCs and…who was on there that had those big records baby, now Troy we going World Wrestling Entertainment . Of them MCs that was on their Mike kept preaching number one. Now if you got the number one record in the country and you’re the number one MC, you’re gonna say “You’re not gonna bill me next to this nobody with no record that just came out of Queens.” Or you going to get on that flyer and let me do what I do brother and then show up an hour or two after I’m out of the building. Sorry Troy, check the record.
Sweety G: …you don’t understand what you’re doing for history, you don’t understand what you’re doing for society, you don’t understand what you’re doing for education, you don’t understand what you’re doing in terms of your documentation brother. You have no idea what you’re doing. My daughter wasn’t around. You’re documenting all this stuff. You are researching the s—. When I sound real strong and aggressive, you’re going casually, “Yeah you’re right” or “He said this!” You are changing the world. You have not seen your day yet. You will have a legacy that goes beyond and you know, sometimes, they say the prophet has no honor at home, and great things done in a legacy come in another lifetime. But the work that you’re doing is a steadfast and important, strong as these Caucasian and American institutions like the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and like these agencies that document what goes on. You are documenting a history of fallen leaders, of artists that would not exist if you did not in your passionate pursuit of truth, and what gives you light, I would have no breath, are you hearing me?
