| | Wired News: Chuck D Keys on Notes |
 | | Chuck D says he was frustrated that the release date for the BTN 2000 album was repeatedly pushed back, but his distributor at the time -- Polygram -- forced him to take down the tracks, since they owned the rights to the songs. |  | | Chuck D said the recording industry similarly feared the dawn of FM radio, but today the big labels "can't pay a radio station enough to play their shit," he said. |  | | Chuck D echoed other Expo panelists, charging that the big labels cause artists to remain broke at the end of their recording contracts. |

 | | Chuck D says that many blacks cannot be trusted, and he reprimands black listeners telling them that they are "afraid of the noise [he] made about their master crackers giving out disasters in the 'hood" and about phony women who care only about money, breast implants, and fake hair. |  | | Chuck D contributed to three tracks of the album which calls on blacks to direct all crime at whites. |  | |       Chuck D says that he is a great rapper who is better than other ones and that his music is "Cinemax to the black." He tells his listeners that some of them are afraid to believe in his messages. |

| | Chuck D on piracy |
 | | Chuck D, founder of the hip-hop group Public Enemy, jetted to San Francisco this month direct from Washington D.C., where he testified at a congressional hearing that the music industry's opposition to Napster was not in the interests of recording artists. |  | | As Chuck D sees it, the technology of creating and distributing digital audio gives musicians the opportunity to retain ownership of their material and bypass the distribution monopoly of the five big record labels. |  | | But Chuck D doesn't sign artists; he buys the rights to the masters of individual songs that can be posted within days of production and downloaded by subscribers to his site. |
