You can follow him on Twitter at @pilkingtonphil  I seen a lot of rappers turn soft, I turn my TV off (uh) And thugs got commercials (yea) thugs in commercials (uh) And everybody's chick turned gladiator and shit No pimps, no hustlers, yo where's your whips No Maybachs, no Lambos on the field Towncar, ridin Music Express You the best example, yo the industry is whack yo Now you can bet your label and your Phantom on that &#x2013; Kool Keith &#x2018;Bamboozled&#x2019;  Daily, megacorporations shovel crap into our eyes and ears. There is no worse indictment for the so-called &#x2018;free market&#x2019; &#x2013; which is really just a few giant bureaucratic institutions &#x2013; than the suppression of creativity in favour of the commoditised effluent of the corporate culture industry.</description></oembed>
