I also think (that’s) a way that white power tries to control us, (saying that if you want) to be conscious or to have intelligence in your work, you’ve got to forget about the things you grew up with. GAIKA: I think you can take these things for what they are, like gold chains, Lamborghinis, whatever – that doesn’t mean you have to stop thinking about other stuff. Like Kanye says, I'm a slave to the passion too. All I'm trying to do is buy Lamborghinis and do my art. Hirakish: The thing is, people were like, ‘We want to see the crucifix, you said you suck it on it like a dick.’ I mean, it's there underneath those words, but due to certain circumstances – like me moving forward as an artist, not wanting to piss people off that may be watching and want to help me out – I don't want to give people the wrong message. GAIKA: In the video, the text on the screen about the crucifix – did that legit happen?

No one is saying buy into yourself these days, spend on yourself to learn how to create those things from your mind and not your pockets. It’s just a way to brainwash and make them buy, buy, buy.
Why the colour black have to be cheap? Or a colour that represents cheap, or half price, or greedy? Sometimes people get killed on Black Friday. Then you got shit like Black Friday in America, a day where everything goes cheap. So in America when let’s say a tragedy like 9/11 happened, the president said ‘Don’t let this stop us from shopping and living our lives.’ Those kind of things are really crazy.
Hirakish: Yeah, I think that consumerism is a big part of our whole business anatomy in America and its transpires in other countries. “I don’t care about an artist just making a DIY, VHS video. Fuck you! I wanna do some Stanley Kubrick type shit” – Hirakish Do you feel subject to or part of consumerism in America? Because it’s such a pervasive thing. GAIKA: This idea of programming people and being programmed at the same time, then. To catch a fucking sheep, you gotta be a wolf – to be a sheep you gotta know how a wolf act. As a kid I used to sell t-shirts, so for me to know what the customer wanted, I had to be a customer myself. Hirakish: To be a seller you have to be a buyer – because if you want to know how to sell, you gotta know what to buy.
